Days after a Red Deer baby was rushed to hospital in Edmonton with severe injuries, but did not survive the night, RCMP are shedding more light on their investigation.
In a press release, investigators said they believe four-month-old Zaria McCall was inside her family home in Red Deer when she was injured, and one of her parents took her to Red Deer Regional Hospital.
On Friday, November 25 at about 6:30 p.m., McCall was brought in to the Red Deer Regional Hospital, suffering from life-threatening head injuries – RCMP were called in two hours later.
She was taken to the Stollery Children's Hospital by Stars Air Ambulance a short time after she arrived.
At about 1:15 the next morning, she succumbed to her injuries, and RCMP began investigating the case as a suspicious death.
This update comes two days after an autopsy was conducted, and her death was officially called a homicide.
RCMP said they have intensified their investigation, and are still conducting interviews.
