On 08-31-2009 at approximately 6:40 PM, Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Dist-3 were called to a residence on Edgefield Lane in East Montgomery County in reference to a welfare check regarding a 3 (yoa) male not breathing. When deputies arrived they found that E.M.S. personnel were performing C.P.R. on the child. The child was taken to St. Lukes Hospital in The Woodlands by ambulance where he was pronounced dead at approximately 7:30 PM.
Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit responded to both the scene and the hospital. It appeared that the 3 yoa may have suffered some sort of recent trauma. The residence was secured and a search warrant was obtained to look for evidence into the cause of this child’s death. Crime Scene Investigators and Detectives are currently examining the home for evidence.
The body of the 3 yoa was taken to the Southeast Forensic Center in Conroe by order of Justice of the Peace Connelly and an autopsy is expected later today. The name of the deceased is not being released at this time.
There were numerous adults and other children living at the residence. Child Protective Services removed (5) five children from the home. The children’s ages ranged from 2 to 12 years old.
Detectives worked throughout the night conducting interviews and examining evidence. The investigation is continuing this morning.
Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Paul Hahs Sr. at 936-760-5876 or the Montgomery County Crimestoppers at 1-800-392-Stop (7867)
