Jeffrey D. Trudeau, Jr., was 3½ months old when he died as a result of an ongoing pattern of abuse. At approximately 9:30 a.m., on December 7, 2000 Jeffrey's mother, Christine Turcotte, brought her son to the Seymour Osman Community Center in Dover, NH, because Jeffrey was non-responsive and not breathing. Jeffrey was transported to the Wentworth Douglass Hospital where he was declared dead. An autopsy revealed that Jeffrey's death was the result of a homicide. The medical examiner concluded that no single injury killed Jeffrey. Rather, the medical examiner ruled his death was caused by fatal child abuse syndrome. At the time of his death, Jeffrey Trudeau, Jr. lived at 15 Hampshire Circle, Dover, NH with his mother.
