An Ohio man faces charges of reckless homicide in the tragic death of an 11-year-old autistic child, who suffocated to death when the 400-pound man laid on top of him, according to a WKRC report.

The report cites court documents that allegedly say that Donald Martin, the boy’s step-grandfather, crushed 90-pound Dylan Martin Davis with his heavyset frame at a Brown County farm in rural Ohio on Friday, Nov. 17.
