VIENNA, Austria —  The Austrian man accused of imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering her seven children likely will face a murder charge that could bring a life sentence, the Daily Mail reported Friday.

DNA results showed Josef Fritzl was the father of his daughter Elisabeth Fritzl’s six children, but the 73-year-old reportedly neglected a seventh child, who died, and threw the body in the incinerator.

Josef Fritzl allegedly failed to get help for the newborn, a twin named Michael who was just 3 days old when he died in the dungeon 12 years ago, the Mail reported.

“It needs to be proved that the baby would have survived had he got proper medical attention,” said Gerhard Sedlacek, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, after a 15-minute hearing at which prosecutors detailed their plans for investigation of the case.

“That carries a life sentence — and life means life; if convicted, he will spend the rest of his days behind bars.”
