Police Release Grim Details Of Infant's Autopsy Following Father's Arrest In North Austin Death

NORTH AUSTIN, TX — Police on Tuesday released grim injury details centered on an infant's death last month — including acute bruising on his head and back and internal rectum hemorrhaging and bleeding injury in his anus — for which his father is now charged.

The injuries were outlined in a news advisory following an autopsy. William Robert Falcon Gallogly, 21, was charged with injury to a child. If convicted, he faces up to 99 years in prison. Police responded to a Feb. 20 911 call from a Motel 6 along the 8000 block of North Interstate 35. Upon their arrival, police saw a man performing CPR on his 16-month-old son, both of them nude at the time.

The boy, Noah L. Armand, died at Dell Children's Medical Center within an hour later. The bleeding injury to the child's anus region raised suspicions of police, casting doubt on the suspect's claims that the boy had slipped in the tub and "inhaled a whole bunch of water."

After offering contradictory stories to police during interrogation, Gallogly was charged with injury to a child, a first degree felony. He was jailed with bond set at $250,000.

Police continue their investigation, urging anyone with information to contact them by calling them at 512-477-3588 or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS or by using the new Crime Stoppers App. Tipsters also can submit information by downloading APD’s mobile app, Austin PD, for free on iPhone and Android.
