Newborn boy - 4 Months - Croswell MI

CROSWELL — A four-month-old Croswell area baby has
died from severe head injuries, said Det. Sgt. Jeff Hook at the Michigan
State Police Caro Post.The baby boy died
Monday. He had been on life support since he arrived April 2 at Detroit
Medical Center Children’s Hospital. The baby was taken by ambulance to
Port Huron Hospital for severe head trauma before being flown by
helicopter to the Detroit hospital.
Child
abuse is suspected to have played a role in the incident, which is
considered a homicide case, Hook said. Police previously said the child
sustained severe injuries consistent with being shaken.
Sanilac
County Prosecuting Attorney James V. Young said the baby’s father was
watching the child at the time of the incident. Michigan State Police
are investigating his role in the baby’s death and following up with
other witnesses.
Young said both the child and father are from a township outside Croswell.
No arrests have been made, Hook said. The incident remains under investigation.
An
autopsy was performed Tuesday on the baby’s body, Young said. He is
awaiting the results of that report before releasing the cause and
manner of the baby’s death.
Any
arrests or charges involving the incident will be made at the
conclusion of the investigation, Young said. He said that could happen
next week.
“These
are serious potential charges,” Young said. “And so the investigations
need to be as thorough as possible before decisions are made.”
