-injury consistent with a fall

Police have ruled out foul play in the death of six-month-old Glencia Salvador whose body was found in a house at Nappi Village, Central Rupununi, last Saturday.
A post mortem examination was yesterday performed on the body of Glencia Salvador by Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh, who gave the cause of death as blunt trauma and concussion to the brain.
However, the doctor opined that the injury was consistent with a fall and not a deliberate blow to the head.
Police had initially detained the child’s father after it was discovered that he had left the child alone at home in a hammock.
Investigators now believe that the baby fell out of the hammock and landed on the floor, causing her to sustain the injury.
The father was subsequently released and the body handed over to the family for burial.
