OREGON CITY, OR (KPTV) - Homicide detectives have identified the 7-month-old boy who died after suffering a skull fracture while in the care of his babysitter.
Izaak Gillen died from his head injury on April 7.
Officers were called to Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel the afternoon of April 6. Doctors reported treating an infant who had sustained a skull fracture.
Oregon City detectives immediately began investigating the circumstances surrounding the baby's injury.
Investigators determined that Izaak had been at his babysitter's house in Oregon City when the skull fracture occurred.
The parents were notified and have been cooperating fully with the investigation. Oregon City police classified the case as a homicide and an ongoing investigation is underway.
Izaak's parents released a statement on Wednesday. It said, "Our family is deeply saddened with the loss of our son Izaak. Izaak was an inquisitive and curious little boy, who explored the world with a twinkle in his eyes and a smile on his face. He was our happy beautiful little baby. Although this is a tragic event, we take some comfort knowing Izaak was able to save the lives of other children by donating 3 of his organs. In his seven months, Izaak touched many lives."
Police have not made any arrests in connection to this case at this time.
