Lackawanna County District Attorney Andy Jarbola says 2-month-old Jayden Cohen died Monday.
Jarbola says he expects homicide charges to be filed later this week against 20-year-old Matthew Evans. Evans has been in custody charged with aggravated assault and child endangerment since the infant was hospitalized December 20.
According to a criminal complaint Jayden Cohen had no brain activity when he arrived at a hospital. Investigators say his mother had left the boy in Evans' care at the apartment they shared in Dunmore.
Evans is being held on $100,000 bail. Online court records do not list an attorney for him.
