SOLON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Authorities say the parents of a 10-month-old girl are in custody after the baby was found dead Thursday at a Solon Township home.
Emergency responders were called to the home in the 16000 block of Algoma Avenue NE at about 12:06 p.m. Thursday for a report of an unresponsive child. The girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Kent County Sheriff’s Office says an autopsy performed Friday shows that the girl died of malnutrition/dehydration due to neglect. Her death was ruled a homicide and both of her parents were arrested Friday as a result of the investigation, according to a release.
The case is pending review by the prosecutor’s office and their names will be released if formal charges are filed. The girl’s name was not released.
