Obese relative suspected of crushing infant
A TWO-YEAR-OLD boy who died in Texas with a fractured skull may have been accidentally crushed by a morbidly obese relative who fell on him.
Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino called the death "suspicious", but said he would wait to know the cause before deciding whether to file charges. "It didn't look like there was any foul play from what I saw," said Justice of the Peace Bobby Contreras, who pronounced the child dead.
The child was believed to have been dropped off by his mother to spend the day with the bedridden relative.
