NYC medical examiner rules Brooklyn boy’s death a homicide

NEW YORK (AP) - The death of a 3-year-old Brooklyn Boy found unconscious in his home in November has been ruled a homicide.

The city’s medical examiner said Thursday that Jaden Jordan died from “abusive head and neck trauma.”

Jaden had a fractured skull and a lacerated spleen and liver when authorities arrived at his Brooklyn home on Nov. 28.

The boyfriend of the child’s mother has been arrested on charges of assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He had told police the boy had slipped in the bathtub and he gave him CPR.

The city’s Administration for Children’s Service got a complaint on the boy but wasn’t able to locate the child, who died several days later.
