ATLANTIC CITY — A father of a three-month-old who died in his care told two completely different stories about what happened. Then an autopsy revealed the horrific truth, officials said.
On Nov. 12 at 8:40 p.m., police received a call about a girl not breathing at an apartment on Emerson Avenue. Emergency responders took the girl to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where doctors found bleeding on her brain and spine. The girl died three days later.
Antonio Reyes, the girl’s father, told police that he had been feeding her when her eyes rolled backwards, she turned blue and stopped breathing. While she was at Cooper, agents from the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency told Reyes he was not allowed to see his daughter. He was given a bus ticket to return home.
