Infant fatally burned in backyard fire pit
Police are looking into the death of a 7-month-old in Federal Way, Washington, who was found in the middle of a fire pit in a home’s backyard.
Police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock says the baby’s father told police he fell asleep late Saturday with the boy on a bench near the fire. Rescuers responding to the home found the boy’s body in the pit, covered with burns.
Schrock says the child’s parents have both been interviewed and the investigation continues.
