Police still unsure how baby fell from O.C. hospital structure

Orange police late Monday were still investigating how a baby boy fell from the upper stories of parking structure at Children's Hospital of Orange County.

The infant, believed to be 1 to 3 months old, was in critical condition at a local trauma center after being dropped or thrown from the second floor or higher of the structure, police said.

The Orange Fire Department said it received a 911 call at 6:19 p.m. from someone saying a baby was possibly thrown from the parking structure. Police said the caller saw the baby falling from the parking structure at the hospital.

Investigators were hoping to track down whoever was responsible for the "horrific crime," Sgt. Dan Adams of the Orange Police Department told The Times. The infant could not have made it over the ledge on his own, Adams noted.
