MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) — Two adults and a teen have been arrested in last year’s death of a 7-year-old Wisconsin boy who was allegedly beaten, forced to carry around a heavy log and was buried in the snow. The Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office says 7-year-old Ethan Hauschultz, of Newton, died on April 18. The boy’s court-appointed guardians, Timothy Hauschultz and Tina McKeever-Hauschultz, and a 15-year-old boy were arrested Friday. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death to be hypothermia and blunt force injuries to the head, chest and abdomen. Timothy Hauschultz is charged with felony murder and five other charges. The 15-year-old boy is charged with first-degree reckless homicide and six other charges. McKeever-Hauschultz faces two charges.
