An investigation is continuing in Tullahoma, Tenn., where a man is behind bars on a homicide charge linked to the death of a 4-year-old boy.

On Wednesday, Tullahoma police were called to Tennova-Harton Healthcare about a 4-year-old boy who had been taken in a private car to the hospital’s emergency room, according to police and city spokesman Winston Brooks.

The boy was pronounced dead later.

“The child’s body did show some signs of trauma,” Brooks said.

Brooks said information on the child’s death is limited while the investigation is ongoing and more charges could be pending.
