Toddler's Death Ruled Homicide

The death of a 2-year-old Jamestown boy has been ruled homicide.

District Attorney David Foley says the ruling was made after receiving the full autopsy report on Auston Morales, but he can't release any further information at this time.

Auston died on October 17 at Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo, a day after being found unresponsive at his home. His father, 31-year-old Agustin Morales, was taken into custody a short time later on an active warrant charging him with endangering the welfare of a child, which is unrelated to the child's death and stems from a previous incident.

Agustin Morales is still in the Chautauqua County Jail on the warrant and is being held in lieu of $30,000 bail.

No one has been charged yet with Auston's death.
