Dead Child Had Suffered Blunt Head Trauma: Report

The three-year-old boy who died in May while living at the Vienna home of convicted school shooter Kenny Bartley was found to have suffered blunt head trauma, according to the Virginia Medical Examiner’s Office.

Beckett Podominick’s manner of death remains undetermined, according to CBS affiliate WTVC.

Podominick is the child of Erin TePaske, Bartley’s former counselor, and the child was in Bartley’s care after the court gave Bartley permission to live with TePaske, WTVC reported.

In May, shortly after Podominick’s death, TePaske told NBC affiliate WBIR that Bartley was not at fault in the child’s death.

The source of the blunt head trauma Podominick was found to have suffered also remains unknown.
