In addition, reports the Times of London, prosecutors say Fritzl will probably now face manslaughter charges after admitting in an interview that one of the children he fathered with his daughter died in the cellar where he imprisoned them. "If it emerges that he was aware that his child was severely ill but still did nothing to bring help, that would be a case of murder out of negligence,” said a spokesman for the prosecutor's office.
