A Kentucky man let his mother sit in a "reclining chair for two months" and suffer in a rotting, trash-filled home with multiple wounds and maggots all over her body, cops say.

Jeremy Cook, 38, is charged with knowingly abusing or neglecting an adult in connection with his mother's dire health condition and deplorable living conditions.

A criminal complaint obtained by local NBC affiliate WLEX outlines the accusations of neglect, including how Rockcastle County EMS allegedly found Cook's mother at their Mount Vernon home with a feces-filled diaper that appeared to have been soiled for several days. She was surrounded by piles of trash and the floor had rotting wood with holes in it, the complaint says.
