Almost three weeks after the death of a six-month-old boy in the north Queensland city of Mackay, police have revealed they are treating the death as suspicious.
Paramedics found Beau Frank Bradshaw unresponsive at a residence in East Mackay on the afternoon of June 2.
He was taken to Townsville Hospital, but died two days later.
Police Detective Acting Inspector Mick Searle said today in Mackay they were seeking public help with their investigation.
He would not be drawn on what had led police to treat the case as a criminal matter.
"If there's anyone in the community who has information in regards to this matter, to contact police as soon as they can," he said.
Detective Acting Inspector Searle said they were specifically seeking anyone who might have seen the child in the vicinity of Illawong Beach, also known locally as Far Beach, on June 2 between 9:30am and 11:00am.
"If anyone has any observations, photographs or video from that time at that place, then we'd ask them to come forward to police," he said.
"Any snippet or basic bit of information that people may think they have, it's all important to us.
"We've had to conduct some very thorough inquiries to get to this stage and the family has had, obviously, a very hard period of grieving they've had to go through."
