A Utah man was arrested for allegedly causing the death of his four-month-old daughter.
According to KSTU, authorities responded to a report of an unresponsive infant in Ogden, Utah, on December 27.
Police say the child was initially taken to a local hospital before being transferred to Primary Children’s Hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
The arrest report indicated that the baby suffered a “catastrophic” brain bleed, which police believe resulted from “non-accidental Abusive Head Trauma,” according to KTSU.
The child’s mother informed police that the baby appeared healthy when she last saw her. She explained that the infant’s father, 27-year-old Nicholas James Horsley, took the baby to another room. When he returned approximately 10-20 minutes later, the baby was described as “completely lifeless and not breathing,” court documents indicate.
During their investigation, police discovered marijuana on the coffee table, within reach of the couple’s six-year-old and 18-month-old children.
Horsley is currently being held without bail and faces felony charges of child abuse homicide and child endangerment.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
