In a tragic turn of events, the parents of an infant from Indiana who was declared dead shortly after arriving at the hospital have been taken into custody.

On Monday, Wendy Alvarado, aged 35, and Dunio Duarte-Rosales, aged 31, were arrested on preliminary charges of child neglect resulting in death. This follows the death of their one-year-old son, Angel, whom they brought to Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis. According to court records shared by local Fox affiliate WXIN, the parents arrived with Angel at 10:14 a.m., reporting that he was “cold to the touch.” Sadly, just 15 minutes later, Angel was pronounced dead.

Authorities have launched an immediate investigation into Angel’s untimely death. A deputy coroner reported that the infant weighed just 10 pounds and described him as “very malnourished and underweight.” The coroner also noted that Angel’s body bore bruises, scratches, and scars.

Upon her arrest, Alvarado requested legal representation and refrained from speaking with the police.

During a search of the family’s residence, detectives discovered two young children left unattended. These children have since been placed under the care of the state’s Department of Child Services. The department also located the couple’s other two children at school, where they were found to be unharmed.

According to court documents, detectives found oxycodone in a drawer that was accessible to the youngest children. When police encountered Duarte-Rosales, who had left the hospital to go back to his unsupervised children at home, he allegedly admitted that he smoked methamphetamine before and after bringing Angel to the hospital. Police asked him about the oxycodone, and he reportedly responded that it must have fallen into the lower drawer while he was moving things around.

When he was questioned about Angel’s condition, Duarte-Rosales claimed that the baby was born a month premature, and doctors told him and Alvarado that he would always be small in size. Duarte-Rosales said the baby “barely eats” but said he was “always smiling and laughing,” so they never brought him to a doctor.

Police said that at some point, Duarte-Rosales brought up their son’s health with Alvarado, but “nothing came of it.” On the morning they brought him to the hospital, Alvarado said that something was wrong with Angel. When Duarte-Rosales felt him, he felt “cold to the touch.”

According to court documents, Duarte-Rosales was asked about the bruises and scratches on Angel’s body, but had no explanation.

An autopsy was performed on Angel, but results were not available.

Alvarado and Duarte-Rosales were arrested on charges of child neglect resulting in death. They were both booked into the Marion County Jail; bond amounts were not listed for either of them. Both are scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 21.
