Overview
- Hospital clinicians at Parc Taulí concluded the infant’s injuries were compatible with violent shaking and activated child‑protection protocols that led police to open a forensic inquiry.
- The parents alerted emergency services on June 24 during the Sant Joan festivities saying the baby was not breathing; emergency teams carried out prolonged resuscitation and transferred the child to hospital.
- The baby died at Parc Taulí on Friday, June 26, and authorities detained both parents that day before a judge ordered their provisional pretrial imprisonment on charges including homicide, injuries and child abuse.
- Mossos d'Esquadra have also detained other relatives for possible links while investigators search for older injuries that would indicate prior abuse and await forensic results to establish the precise cause.
- The Departament de Salut has opened an internal inspection to review whether health‑care protection procedures worked correctly, a move that follows earlier regional scrutiny of missed protocol activations in prior infant‑abuse cases.
