OH GOD IT GETS WORSE:
Authorities would not say whether Tyler was still alive when his mother dumped his body.
It was emotional Wednesday night for Joe Ellington, 24, the father of Tyler Dasher, 1, allegedly beaten to death by his own mother, Shelby Dasher, 21. (i don't have a photo of him yet)
There was a vigil in the wooded area next to St. Marcus Cemetery at the St. Louis City/Affton border, where Tyler`s body was found, Tuesday.
documents reveal Ellington’s parents had him declared incapacitated because he suffers from schizophrenia, cannot hold jobs and acts aggressively toward others. Ellington`s friends said his presence spoke volumes.
'All I want to ask Shelby is why was she trying to put this on Joe or somebody else,' said mourner, Renee Leisure.
Ellington`s mother, Tyler`s grandmother, Shirley Ellington, earlier told Fox 2, through tears, that a private funeral had been arranged for Tyler at St. Marcus Cemetery, right next to the place his body was found.
Mental illness has left Joe Ellington in his parents` care; away from Tyler.
Ellington`s childhood friends described him as a loving father; who had dedicated himself to taking control of his illness, for his little boy.
'He was coming back to `Joe`,' said friend, Patrick Beesley. 'To what he used to be.'
'He was doing it to see his kid,' added friend, Billy Ellington.
'He was doing it for Tyler, above everything,' Beesley said. 'That was his main reason to try to get better. He wanted to get better for his son,' Beesley said, breaking into tears.
(KSDK) - Shelby Dasher, the mother who is charged with second-degree murder of her son, Tyler Dasher, will be arraigned in St. Louis County Thursday morning.
Dasher is jailed in St. Louis County and is on suicide watch, according to a spokesperson for the jail.
