The death of the 8-year old autistic boy who died during a prayer service has been ruled a homicide by suffocation:
Terrance Cottrell Jr. died because his chest was somehow restricted and could not expand, according to a statement issued by the office of the Milwaukee County coroner.
"Air was not able to get in or out," said Eileen Weller, the office's administrative manager.
Weller declined to release further details, saying police were still investigating the death.
A man has been arrested in connection with the death, which occurred Friday night at a church in a run-down strip mall. Police have not identified him, but David Hemphill Sr., bishop of the Faith Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith, said the man is his brother, Ray, another minister who led Friday's service.
A very sad situation, and a case that will be interesting to watch.
