An Iowan infant, who suffered head injuries allegedly caused by her father, died over the weekend. Four-month-old Marleen Jimenez was admitted to University of Iowa Hospitals on January 19th.
Authorities say she died on Saturday. The girl’s father, 21-year-old Oscar Jimenez of Columbus Junction, was arrested last Tuesday and charged with multiple acts of child endangerment. Now, he could face even more serious charges.
Officials say an autopsy was conducted Monday and the investigation is ongoing.
