ABBEVILLE (AP) — The death of a 3-month-old Abbeville girl has been ruled a homicide.
Lt. David Hardy, chief of investigations for
the Abbeville Police Department, told The Advertiser the baby, who has not been identified, died from blunt force
trauma to the head, and sustained head injuries and fractures.
Hardy says officers were alerted on Monday
that the baby had died on Friday, two days after she was taken to the
emergency
room at Abbeville General Hospital. Investigators said the child
was transported to Women's & Children's Hospital in Lafayette
and then to a hospital in Baton Rouge, where she died.
No charges have been filed in the infant's death, but Hardy said the investigation is continuing
