Authorities in St.Louis say a 2-year-old Missouri girl died after her Mother’s boyfriend injured the toddler using “wrestling moves.”
Authorities say that one of the moves Richard Gamache Jr. (24) of House Springs allegedly used involved picking up the girl and slamming her to the ground.
Jefferson County Sheriff David Marshak says on May 16, the girl was hospitalized after having a seizure. She died three days later.
Gamache was charged on Tuesday with abuse of a child resulting in death. His girlfriend, 19-year Cheyenne Cook, has also been charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The toddler’s name hasn’t been released.
Gamache is in jail on $500,000 bond.
