Po­lice are await­ing the re­sults of an au­top­sy to de­ter­mine the cause of death of a one-month-old ba­by boy, who re­port­ed­ly had bruis­es on his body.

The in­fant was found un­re­spon­sive on Wednes­day at his fam­i­ly’s Ra­goo­nanan Road, Cunu­pia home and tak­en to hos­pi­tal.

Po­lice said of­fi­cers from the Cunu­pia Po­lice Sta­tion re­ceived a re­port of a sud­den death at the Ch­agua­nas Dis­trict Health Fa­cil­i­ty around 5 pm.

On ar­rival, they were told that a one-month-old ba­by boy had died.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said bruis­es were found on the child’s body, and an au­top­sy was or­dered to de­ter­mine what led to his death.

Po­lice were told the ba­by was brought to the fa­cil­i­ty by his par­ents, a 19-year-old moth­er and a 33-year-old fa­ther. Of­fi­cers said the pair was ques­tioned but had not been tak­en in­to cus­tody.

Of­fi­cers from the Cunu­pia Po­lice Sta­tion are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries. —Shane Su­perville
