Accident – Death – Obituary News :
An autopsy conducted on a 2-year-old child in Prince George’s County has revealed shocking details of the injuries sustained by the toddler. The child, identified as Kayceson Barkley, suffered multiple fractures, extensive bruising all over the body, and hemorrhaging, according to the medical examiner.
Incident Details
The father of the child, 32-year-old Lance Harrison from Oxon Hill, has been charged with child abuse resulting in death in connection with the tragic incident. The authorities were alerted to the situation on June 9, just before 4 a.m., when they responded to an apartment on Livingston Terrace. Upon arrival, they found the toddler unresponsive with severe injuries.
Despite efforts to save him, the child was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to a nearby hospital. The autopsy results have raised serious concerns as some of the injuries were deemed non-accidental, indicating deliberate harm inflicted on the child.
