{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities say sheriff's deputies in 2011 had investigated the death of a 7-year-old child at a Texas home where seven special-needs teenagers were recently found locked away.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office issued a news release Thursday saying deputies had visited the home after the death of Jaden Sinclair. After an investigation, a justice of the peace ruled the child died of natural causes. The statement says the case is not being reopened.
Jaden had cerebral palsy, was blind and couldn't speak.
