The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office today confirmed the death of a 2-month old in Dayton on Feb. 5 that was possibly the result of child abuse.

Gabriel Clouse died of blunt force injuries, according to the coroner’s office.

His death was ruled a homicide.

This information comes the day after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s office announced he directed the state to review Montgomery County Children Services’ handling of abuse and neglect cases locally.
