US News: Accused Killer Dad Christopher Gregor Seen Carrying Son’s Limp Body into Hospital

A New Jersey dad, Christopher Gregor, is facing murder charges after being accused of forcing his 6-year-old son, Corey Micciolo, to endure a grueling treadmill workout that ultimately led to the boy’s death. The harrowing incident was captured on surveillance footage at a fitness center, where Gregor allegedly put his son through a sickening workout because he believed the boy was too fat.

The video shows Gregor rapidly increasing the speed and incline of the treadmill, causing Corey to fall multiple times before struggling to keep up. Two weeks later, Corey was brought to a hospital by Gregor, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. An autopsy revealed that Corey died as a result of blunt force injuries with cardiac and liver contusions, along with acute inflammation and sepsis.

During the trial, Corey’s mother testified that she noticed “odd-shaped” bruises on her son, and a pediatrician found no real cause for concern. The forensic pathologist later determined that Corey’s death was a homicide due to chronic child abuse, including blunt force injuries to his chest and abdomen.

Gregor, who was arrested on murder charges, turned down a plea offer and now faces life in prison if convicted. The tragic case has shocked the community and raised awareness about the devastating consequences of child abuse.
