Child Protective Services confirmed Monday it is investigating the death of a three-year-old boy from Liberty County after law enforcement ruled the circumstances surrounding his death as “suspicious.”
“CPS does have a history with the family, but specific details of case investigations are confidential under the law,” wrote Melissa Lanford, the DFPS spokesperson, in a statement to KPRC2.According to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, the boyfriend of the boy’s mother called 911 Saturday to report the child was “gagging.” Authorities responded to the home located on County Road 3792 in Cleveland.
“He described it to our dispatcher that the child was gagging, it is the way he explained it. And when the medical team arrived on the scene, that’s in fact what they did find,” said Liberty County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Ken DeFoor.According to DeFoor, the circumstances leading up to the allegation that Jace was “gagging” were unclear. He said an autopsy report will have to corroborate that.When authorities arrived at the house Saturday, they said they found the boy unresponsive.
“Some of these things we can’t address right at the present time because it could wind up being evidence in court,” DeFoor said.

The defense rested late Friday. Kelly and his ex-business manager Derrell McDavid are charged with fixing Kelly’s 2008 state child pornography trial — at which Kelly was acquitted — by threatening witnesses and concealing video evidence.
