An au­top­sy has con­firmed that two-month-old Amy Dood­nath died from a blunt force in­jury to her head.

The in­fant, who died last Tues­day, was un­re­spon­sive when her moth­er and grand­moth­er took her at the Siparia Health Fa­cil­i­ty short­ly be­fore 8 pm. Her moth­er Roshanie, 25, said the ba­by was left sleep­ing on a bed at their Bun­see Trace home, but around 5 pm she saw a cut on top of her head.

Amy’s grand­moth­er, a pa­tient care as­sis­tant, ar­rived at the home around 7.20 pm and when she re­alised the ba­by was in dis­tress, took her to the health cen­tre where she died.

A po­lice re­port list­ed the ba­by’s in­juries as a lac­er­a­tion to the top of her head and two bumps at the back of her head.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
