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.

Thats sad. The woman will probably never forgive herself even if it was an accident.

There may have been more than just her there to watch him, but he was visiting the bedriddren relative. MY heart goes out to her, how awful that had to have been.
Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

How sad I surely hope there were other ppl there as well b/c dropping off a 2 y/o w/ someone who can't get out of bed makes no sense at all.
If you don't want dumb answers, don't ask dumb questions
