Overview
- The Adams County Health and Human Services initial assessment says there is a preponderance of evidence substantiating physical abuse by the mother and classifies the death as non-accidental.
- Eric Rosenbrook says he and Leida Margaretha retained a private medical examiner who calls the original autopsy flawed and suggests some injuries could stem from childbirth or CPR.
- The county report notes no criminal charges have been filed and the case remains open pending completion of the official autopsy.
- Authorities say the infant was found unresponsive on July 5, 2025, hospitalized with multiple injuries, and died on July 9 after five days on life support.
- In a separate case, Margaretha was released on a $1,000 signature bond after a court hearing on 24 felony counts unrelated to the child's death, with a no-contact order and a June 17 court date.
