Port Huron Baby Dies, Father Jailed

Autopsy To Be Performed On Child

POSTED: Monday, July 18, 2005
UPDATED: 2:15 pm EDT July 18, 2005

A 1-month-old child died on Sunday from injuries she suffered last week, according to a Port Huron police news release.

Baby Miranda (pictured, left) was pronounced dead at Children's Hospital at 1:15 p.m.

Miranda's father was taken into custody after a second search warrant was executed on the family's home in the 700 block of Chestnut in Port Huron, according to police.

Miranda had been on life support at the hospital after being injured in her home last Tuesday, Local 4 reported.

The father told police that the child fell, but police believe Miranda's injuries were the result of her father shaking her, according to the news release.

He's being held at the St. Clair County Jail on an open murder charge pending his arraignment, police said.

An autopsy is scheduled to be conducted on the child on Monday.
