The Mohave County Sheriff's Office has referred a case to the Mohave County Attorney's Office after the death of an infant on Lake Havasu, as a GoFundMe identified the victim as Tanna Wroblewski; the potential charges stem from an incident in July 2024 when the baby suffered a heat-related illness while on a boat.
The tragic events unfolded on July 5, when at approximately 5:10 p.m., a four-month-old was rushed from the boat to Lake Havasu Regional Medical Center; following initial treatment, the baby was transported to Phoenix Children's Hospital, where the child unfortunately passed away, according to a FOX 10 Phoenix report.
In a recent development, the Sheriff's office revealed, through the receipt of the official autopsy report from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office, that the infant's death was due to "complications of environmental heat exposure," and as a result, they are considering negligent homicide charges, as reported by 12 News.
Details are limited as the investigation continues, but the Sheriff's Office has not disclosed specific findings from the autopsy that led to the contemplation of charges. The baby's name was released by the family during their fundraising efforts for Tanna's medical and funeral expenses, although the GoFundMe page is no longer available online for further details.
