The death of a 3-month-old boy from suburban Elgin Friday was ruled a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said.
Malik Davis died at 1:37 p.m. at Lurie Children Hospital from blunt force injuries to his head, according to an autopsy from the Cook County medical examiner’s office. His death was ruled a homicide.
He suffered the injuries days earlier, according to the medical examiner’s office.
The incident took place about 3:15 p.m. Monday in an apartment in the first block of Longwood Place, the medical examiner’s office said.
Elgin police said they were called to the home for “a report of a child in medical distress” but declined to provide further information.
A spokesman for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services confirmed that the agency is investigating the death, and said they have had contact with the family before.
