An Alabama police department has launched an investigation into
what it says was the murder of a 3-year-old child made to look
like a hot car death, according to a report.

Kaiden Garner died Wednesday in Florence, WHNT-TV reports.

It was initially reported that Kaiden’s death was possibly due
to heat exposure, according to the station.

"Since that time, detectives have confirmed that Kaiden’s death
was not in fact related to any type of injury caused by an
exposure to heat," Florence Police Lt. Wesley Gargis said,
according to the Florence Times Daily.

"Based on the evidence gathered thus far and statements made, we
now consider this to be an active investigation into the
homicide of 3-year-old Kaiden Garner,” Gargis said. “Preliminary
autopsy reports show that Kaiden’s death resulted from blunt
force trauma."

Kaiden's death brought patrol officers to the emergency room at
North Alabama Medical Center, Emergency Room at 11:25 p.m.
Wednesday, he said.

Police said Friday they could provide no further information
about the case.

No one has been arrested, Police Chief Ron Tyler told the Times
Daily.

“There are situations when there's an adult victim when people
choose not come forward but we hope when there's a 3-year-old
someone will come forward," he said, according to the paper.
