The death of a nine-month-old baby in Lethbridge earlier this year is now being investigated as a homicide, police say.
Lethbridge EMS responded to a call of a baby in medical distress in a residence on the 600 block of 17th Street N. on April 28. Austin Lucas Wright was in cardiac arrest and wasn’t breathing when paramedics found him inside the home. The infant was later pronounced dead at the Chinook Regional Hospital.
Police say the investigation is still ongoing. An autopsy has been completed at the Calgary Medical Examiner’s Office.
Staff Sgt. Scott Woods of the Lethbridge police will be providing more details Friday morning.
