This Thursday confirmed the death of baby three months that he was hospitalized in the Regional Hospital of the West following being rescued by agents of the National Civil Police (PNC) on February 25 in Plazuela San Antonio, zone 1 of Quetzaltenango.
The intervention of the authorities occurred because the minor’s parents were under drunk and scandalizing on public roads, while holding him in their arms.
As confirmed by the spokesperson for the aforementioned care center, María del Carmen Sajquim, the child died on March 6 as a result of microcephaly, sudden infant death syndrome and fetal alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Investigation of baby’s death
The Office of the Attorney General of the Nation (PNG) announced that the case is currently in charge of the Public Ministry, an entity that will be responsible for investigating to determine if there is any responsibility on the part of the parents in the death of the child.
It is worth mentioning that the mother of the baby had already been removed from custody, with a judge’s order, of five other children because she was not in a position to take care of them.
