The death of a 2-year-old Ohio boy last fall has been ruled a homicide, police said.
Columbus police said officers were called to a apartment shortly before 4 p.m. on Oct. 7 and found 2-year-old Clifford Stark III with injuries. Police say the child was pronounced dead shortly before 1 p.m. the following day.
On Thursday, the police homicide unit was notified that the Franklin County coroner’s office had ruled the boy’s death to be a homicide.
The autopsy and coroner’s report released this week said the child had extensive injuries including a lacerated liver, internal bleeding, a fractured arm and multiple contusions and lacerations.
The case is under investigation and no arrests were immediately announced.
Police asked anyone with information to call homicide investigators or the Central Ohio Crime Stoppers line.
