*LA JOYA, Texas - A 2-year-old boy who died with a fractured skull may
have been accidentally crushed by a morbidly obese relative,
authorities say.

Investigators believe the woman fell on the child, who was pronounced
dead Tuesday, said Bobby Contreras, Hidalgo County justice of the
peace.

"It didn't look like there was any foul play from what I saw," he
said.

An autopsy was scheduled, with the cause of death to be released
Monday.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino, who called the death
"suspicious," said he would wait for an announcement on the cause
before deciding whether to file charges.

The child was believed to have been dropped off by his mother to spend
the day with the bedridden relative, The McAllen Monitor reported Friday.


Why would you leave a 2 y/o with a "bed ridden" person? Obese or
otherwise?
