Georgia – Georgia authorities released a statement earlier this week, stating that the County Medical Examiner released the autopsy results for 3-month-old J. Cambers, confirming that the cause of death was dehydration and undernourishment due to infant negIect, and the manner of death was ruIed a homicide. This revelation came after a tragic incident that led to the baby’s death in a hotel room in Georgia earlier this year.
In January this year, the 21-year-old parent, later identified as Jery, was arrested after the IifeIess body of his baby was discovered in a hoteI room. The young parent, who had reportedly Ieft his chiId alone in the room while he went to work, initially claimed that he attempted to revive the baby once he found him unresponsive.
However, his actions following the discovery of the child’s condition raised suspicions. Instead of immediately contacting emergency services, the parent reportedly packed a bag and left the hotel, only returning to call for help two days later.
The autopsy results have shed new light on the case. While he initially suggested he tried to assist his son, the report indicates that the baby’s death resulted from prolonged neglect and a lack of proper care. The child had been left without food and water for an extended period, leading to severe dehydration and undernourishment. The fact that the cause of death was deemed homicide, as opposed to an accidental death, has fueled investigators’ belief that the parent failed to provide the necessary care and supervision for his son during the critical period.
After the autopsy findings were released, Georgia authorities pursued charges against the parent. The 21-year-old man was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and crueIty to children. According to police reports, His decision to delay seeking medicaI attention, his faiIure to properly care for the chiId, and the manner in which he behaved after discovering the baby’s condition all contributed to the charges.
The parent told responding officers that he found his son foaming at the mouth and tried to revive him but did not immediately seek help. The parent did not immediately call 911 upon finding his baby in distress. Instead, police reported that he left the baby alone once more and went to another hotel with a friend. When he returned, he discovered his child was still unresponsive. He then proceeded to pack a bag without offering any assistance or contacting emergency services.
