37-year-old Paul Marshall was charged in St. Croix County Circuit Court with 1st-degree reckless homicide, child abuse recklessly causing great bodily harm and child abuse causing a high probability of great bodily harm Wednesday.

According to a release from the Hudson Police Department, first responders were sent to a home on Bristol Court in the City of Hudson at 8:23 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 4 for a 7-week-old infant suffering cardiac arrest. After life-saving efforts were made, the infant began breathing before being taken to Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, Minn.

The hospital told police at 12:25 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5 that the cardiac arrest was caused by head trauma and that the infant had several fractures, including in the child’s leg, ribs and skull. The child also no longer had brain activity. Police began an investigation for child abuse. The infant died on Feb. 7, and an autopsy done by the Ramsey County Medical Examiners Office ruled the death was caused by traumatic brain injury.

The father was found not guilty because the mother was also considered a suspect and Fox had been left with a babysitter.

Neither woman has been charged.

Fox was a twin
