[Sugar Cookie]

The Grant County coroner has ruled a 2-year-old boy's death as a homicide.

On Dec. 24, police were called to an apartment complex in Gas City, Indiana, just before 8 a.m. on a report of an infant not breathing.

Police said Robert Kirkland Jr., the boy's father, told them he woke up and found his son, later identified by the coroner as Atlas Kirkland, not breathing.

Police immediately began administering CPR. Medics arrived and pronounced Atlas dead.

Grant County coroner Stephen Dorsey provided an update Jan. 13 and ruled Atlas' death as a homicide.

At least he managed to look sad in his mug shot. I hope it's because he really regrets what he did beyond being arrested.
