BEAUMONT: Detectives investigating infant’s death

BEAUMONT – Detectives are investigating the death of an infant that died unexpectedly at a Beaumont hospital Wednesday, Jan. 11.

The investigation began about 10 a.m., after City of Beaumont emergency dispatchers received a call from the San Gorgonio Medical Center reporting the death of an infant.

“At this time, the cause of death is undetermined and officials have ordered an autopsy,” a police official explained in a press release about the incident.
