The Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office said Thursday that the baby’s death is still an ongoing investigation and no charges have been filed.
West Carrollton police were called to the hospital on Aug. 21 after staff reported injuries to the baby, the department said earlier this week.
“This is an active investigation and, as such, we have no other information that will be released at this time,” said Maureen Flaute, West Carrollton public information officer. “We are dedicated to completing a thorough and rigorous investigation; and our detectives are working diligently to do just that. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those involved.”
A police report categorized the incident as an assault. No other details were available at this time.
A Go Fund Me page set up in the baby’s name says the family donated some of the baby’s organs.
“Baby Averi’s little heart was donated to another baby that needed a heart this afternoon. God bless this child that has Averi’s heart. May the lord wrap his arms around the family that received her heart so their baby can live a full life,” the post says.
The GoFundMe says that the family is asking for help financially to pay for funeral costs.
