The manner of Rowe’s death is a homicide.

“When our deputies arrived on scene, the child, a male 2-month-old, was being rushed by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment. The child, who was then airlifted in critical condition to Comer Children’s hospital for further treatment, died Tuesday night at the hospital,” Matthews said.
