Patricia Saintizaire, a 36-year-old Florida mother who adopted a 4-year-old boy from Haiti in April 2023, is facing charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and tampering with a witness. The charges stem from the suspicious death of her son, who died under alarming circumstances on May 2. Medical examinations revealed severe injuries including a fatal abdominal bleed that surgery could not resolve. An autopsy indicated the child had scarring on his back, both old and fresh, and a deep liver laceration caused by targeted blunt force trauma. The injuries, including bruising on his arms and legs, suggested ongoing abuse. The cause of death was ruled as Assault/Blunt Force Trauma, and the manner of death was classified as Homicide by authorities.
