There still are no charges filed in the June death of a 3-month-old who suffered “major trauma” to his brain under circumstances investigators and medical officials called “suspicious.”

That could change with the release of Colin Eugene Russell’s autopsy, Marion County, Tenn., detective Beth Schindel said Monday.

The results will be turned over to the district attorney’s office to determine if there was criminal wrongdoing in the infant’s death, but Schindel could not say when those results could come.

The infant’s family is “just taking it day by day,” Schindel said.

“It’s very tragic losing a baby, and they’re very upset. They’re as anxious to get the report back as we are,” she said.
