The report says the 17-month-old died of chest trauma due to a rupture of the aorta, the body's main artery. Medical examiners say this was the consequence of multiple blunt force injuries caused by child abuse.
The autopsy notes that a number of recent and older blunt force injuries were seen on the child's body, including injuries to his face, a fracture of his lumbar spine, and other bone and muscular injuries.

The child's mother, 29-year-old Amanda Beaty, and her boyfriend, 42-year-old Rodger Dale Prince, were each indicted on a murder charge last month by a Morgan County grand jury. They have pleaded not guilty.
