A 23-year-old man was arrested Friday in the death of his 6-month-old child, according to court documents.
West Valley City police were first called to help a child who wasn’t breathing. The child was taken to the hospital, where medics discovered the child had multiple injuries — including bruising, brain hemorrhaging and a fractured skull, according to a probable cause statement. The baby later died.
During questioning from police, the child’s father said he threw a metal bottle at the baby’s head, hit the child in the head with his fist and dropped the baby from a swing set onto the concrete, the probable cause statement states.
