Amber Keyes, 37,
had pleaded guilty of neglect that resulted in the death of
9-year-old Ayahna Comb, whose body was found in 2014.
The girl, who had cerebral palsy, had been dead for about six
months when she was found wrapped in blankets in the crisper
drawer of the refrigerator at Keyes' apartment, the Houston
Chronicle reported. She only weighed about 15 pounds (6.8 kg) at
the time of her death, which was ruled a homicide.
The newspaper said police went to the apartment in June 2014
after neighbors expressed concern over not seeing Ayahna for
months.
