A Hawaii state lawmaker is pressing military officials for a formal investigation into the unexplained death of a 16-month-old boy who died while under the care of his Marine father.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Friday (http://bit.ly/V6uqOz ) that Rep. John Mizuno led a silent march outside the state Capitol with the boy's mother.

The boy died May 20 while under the care of his father, 24-year-old former Marine Cpl. Christopher Bahm. The boy's mother, Jerlee Bahm, says the father was in the process of being kicked out of the Marines when the boy died.

Jerlee Bahm told the newspaper the Marine was court-martialed and found guilty of abusing her. The Iraq and Afghanistan veteran also had traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder.
