The 2017 death of a 4-month-old infant in Nashua, N.H., has been ruled a homicide, and police are asking for the public’s help in their investigation, officials said Tuesday.
Luna L. Champagne was taken from her parents’ apartment at 79 Elm St. to a hospital in “medical distress” on Feb. 16, 2017, the New Hampshire attorney general’s office and Nashua police said in a statement. The baby was later taken to a Massachusetts hospital, where she died three days later , according to the statement.
The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy on the infant four days later and released a complete autopsy report in 2021, finding that traumatic head injuries caused Luna’s death and that her manner of death was homicide, officials said. Michael Garrity, a spokesman for the attorney general’s office, said in an e-mail to the Globe that he could not comment specifically on the timeline for announcing Champagne’s autopsy results five years after her death.
