East Texas Baby Died of Malnutrition, Dehydration

LUFKIN (AP) � A coroner has determined a 2-month-old East Texas boy who at the time he died weighed a pound less than when he was born suffered malnutrition and dehydration. Autopsy results released this week show Imauri Jackson of Lufkin weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces at birth but dwindled to 5 pounds, 6 ounces. His death was ruled a homicide due to child neglect. Angelina County jail records show the parents, Dequisha Jackson, 18, and Isaiah Tolliver, 19, were being held Wednesday on murder and child endangerment charges. Online jail records don�t list attorneys for the teens, whose bond is $25,000 apiece. Lufkin police say the couple called 911 last October 11 to report their son was unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. The parents were arrested the following day.
