Gabriel Fernandez Autopsy Report (Cause of Death)

Gabriel Fernandez was an eight-year-old boy who was abused and then killed by his mother and her boyfriend. The couple had tortured Gabriel for months and it is believed that they had homophobic intentions. Sheriffs were called to the house by other family members’ days before the murder but took no action.

Law enforcement frequently took the mother, Pearl Fernandez’s, word for it that everything was fine, and never even asked to see Gabriel. They always trusted the parent over the child with the burn marks and black eye. This resulted in the death of an innocent child who could have been saved, if not for negligence. The Gabriel Fernandez autopsy report stresses the cruelty of the crime.
