So they're thinking that it's a young kid, but pretty quickly they realize this is somebody who is sick. severely emaciated. Now, there are physical things that they're not going to be able to tell immediately just upon finding him there on the floor in the house.

This is somebody whose body was going into physical failure, something called a wasting syndrome, where basically the human body begins to shut down and waste away. In the police reports, there's a comparison, the way that he looks to a Holocaust survivor, like all those terrible images that we saw when the concentration camps were liberated in World War II.
