A toddler with a head injury was taken to hospital in critical condition, and died from his injuries on March 26. The explanations for his injuries given by his stepmother, who called 911 and spoke to first responders, weren't consistent with his injuries, Const. "An examination concluded that neither of those explanations would have accounted for the seriousness of the injury or the mechanism of injury, and as such, they were discounted." The toddler lived in the home with his stepmother and father as well as a number of siblings, Carver said.
