LOS ANGELES—A former Los Angeles firefighter has been convicted of the second-degree murder of his mother, who was found lying in a pile of filth at her home and covered in sores and maggots.

The district attorney's office said in a Friday statement that 43-year-old Anthony Aaron Domio, a firefighter from 1986 to 2001, should have known how to give proper treatment to his 68-year-old mother.

Elanie Celestin Domio was found by another son in February 2006 in her South Los Angeles home. She died of sepsis of the blood a few hours later.

Domio faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
