Autistic woman weighed 84 pounds - bob mitchell staff reporter

An autistic Mississauga woman was "basically skin and bones," when a forensic pathologist performed an autopsy seeking the cause of her death, a Brampton court heard yesterday.
"This was the first time I've ever been confronted with a case like this", Dr. Timothy Feltis told the court. "This person basically lost all of her fat and had tremendous muscle atrophy."
Tiffany Pinckney, 23, was found dead April 2, 2005. She weighed only 84 1/2 pounds when found in an unkempt basement room at the home of her sister and brother-in-law. Pinckney, who was severely mentally challenged, had weighed as much as 200 pounds a year earlier, court heard.
Her sister, Allison Cox, 32, has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, criminal negligence causing death and failure to provide the necessities of life.
Cox's husband, Orlando Klass, 33, was convicted earlier this year of criminal negligence causing death and sentenced to two years of house arrest.
Prosecutor John Raftery alleges Cox deliberately starved her sister to death over several months.
Feltis has performed more than 3,600 autopsies in his career and had encountered cancer patients with significant weight loss.
"But their weight loss was caused by malignancy," he said, adding he'd never seen such "significant" weight loss in a person not ill.
He said Pinckney died from malnutrition. The autopsy showed no evidence of any condition that could have caused her dramatic weight loss. Feltis said a person her age and height of 5-foot-2 normally weighs from 100 to 145 pounds.
He said she likely died within two days of the April 3 autopsy.
Pinckney's mother, Margaret Cox, who adopted her as an infant, was her cargiver until she died of cancer in 1998. Allison then took over.
Evidence in court indicates outside government help soon stopped. There was no evidence Pinckney saw a doctor after April 2000. She had seen a physician three times since April 1997.
Police discovered her in a windowless basement room following a 911 call. Court heard neighbors had no idea she even lived at the residence.
The judge-only trial continues tomorrow before Justice Joseph F.
