Medical examiners say "blunt force head trauma" is what killed the 4-month-old son of a Marine stationed at MCAS Miramar.

The cause of that injury, apparently suffered in the family's quarters on the base, is what San Diego homicide detectives are trying to determine.

Andru Bixby died Thursday morning at Children's Hospital, about 14 hours after his 22-year-old father called 911 to report that Andru had stopped breathing. Andru's mother had been watching him and his 18-month-old brother before leaving for school when the father came home.

That background presents a delicate and complex task for investigators, according to a local criminal defense lawyer not connected to the case.
