Falls Township Toddler Death: What We Know So Far

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — Details have been slowly trickling out in the death of a 22-month-old boy killed on Tuesday at an apartment complex in Falls Township.

Thursday morning, Falls Police Chief William Wilcox said he couldn't release any details in the case, which police and Bucks County District Attorney's office detectives have been investigating nonstop since being called at about 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

With questions still abounding, here's a look at what we do know about the death of the toddler:

• The boy's death has been ruled a homicide. The Bucks County Coroner's office ruled that he suffered trauma to the head.
• Police were called to the child's home, at The Commons at Fallsington apartment complex on Makefield Road at about 5 p.m. on Tuesday and remained there through Wednesday afternoon.
• His death comes after his twin brother also died young. District Attorney's office spokesman James O'Malley said that the boy’s twin died last year. His death was ruled an unexplained natural death, O'Malley said.
• Tight-lipped throughout, investigators had not released any information about possible suspects in the case or any other details about the boy's death as of Thursday morning, including his name.
• ABC-6 was reporting that 18 people lived in the two-bedroom apartment where the toddler was found dead.

This is a developing story. Patch will update this post with more details as they become available.
