Charge: Minnesota baby dies after abuse; father looked on Google...
Michael Anthony Herkal, 32, told police his 2-year-old son had twice pulled the 13-day-old boy off a couch, according to an Apple Valley police narrative.
Police say Herkal then said he had squeezed the squirming infant while changing his diaper and that the boy slipped out of his hands and onto a coffee table.
A review of Herkal’s cell phone showed he had made several Google searches about 80 minutes before calling 911 on Sunday.
They included “someone threw a baby on the floor;” “baby breathing hard;” “noisy baby breathing: what’s normal and what’s not;” and “babys butt is blue sanking” [sic].
Police found the baby on the living room floor, blue and with bruises and no pulse. They began chest compressions and had him transported to Fairview Ridges Hospital.
He later was moved to the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital because he could not breathe on his own. The child had a skull fracture and blood on his brain. He died Tuesday.
Bail was set at $1 million or $750,000 with conditions, Backstrom’s office said. The prosecutor intends to bring additional charges now that the child has died.

13 days of life before he's murdered by his own daddy. Sick.
