The death of a 20-month-old Woodbury boy in a Minneapolis hospital in September has been ruled a homicide.
Maxmiliano Quy Diaz Castro died on Sept. 8 at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The cause of death was “blunt abdominal trauma,” the report states.
The case is still under active investigation, and no arrests have been made at this point, Patrol Cmdr. Tom Ehrenberg of the Woodbury Public Safety Department said on Monday.
Officers were dispatched around 8:20 a.m. Sept. 8 for “an informational phone call report in regard to a child that had died in the early morning hours,” according to the police report.
Maxmiliano’s “bright spirit and infectious energy touched the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him,” according to his obituary.
“Though his time with us was brief, Max brought immense joy and light to those around him,” his obituary states. “He delighted in watching ‘Cocomelon’ and shared countless playful moments roughhousing with his older brothers. … May his memory bring comfort and peace to all who loved him.”
Maxmiliano lived with his family in an apartment complex in the 6700 block of Ashwood Road in Woodbury, according to the medical examiner’s report. He was wearing a sleepwear onesie at the time of his death, the report states.
