A Massachusetts man charged in connectino with the death of his 4-year-old daughter last week was ordered held without bail on Wednesday after a judge deemed him too dangerous to release.

Francisco Ortiz, 34, called 911 on October 15 and told officers his daughter had fallen from a kitchen table. The responding officer found the girl “unresponsive” and “cold to the touch,” Boston 25 reported.

“He made observations as to her persons, including that she had just a shirt on, was otherwise naked from the waist down, and appeared to have feces covering parts of her body,” prosecutor Courtney Sans told the judge. “She had some bleeding from her mouth and lips.”

The officer found two other children — a 2-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl — in the home. Those children were removed by medics to “ensure their overall well-being,” Sans said.

The medics pronounced the 4-year-old girl dead from her injuries, although the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is still working to determine cause and manner of death. Her injuries were, Sans said, “significant.”

“The child’s bruises were significant injuries, including her left eye, her left and right earlobe, both sides of her neck and chin, her left and right arms, across her upper chest, her abdomen, both hips, her knees, her lower legs, her feet, as well as abrasions on her back,” Sans said.

Doctors said the girl also had a skull fracture that was consistent with a two-story fall.

“The force required for that type of skull fracture would not have been associated with a fall of approximately five feet from a table in the home but would have been akin to a fall from a higher level,” the prosecutor said.

Additionally, the girl had multiple rib fractures “in various stages of healing.”

The other children were also injured: The toddler boy had a skull fracture, and the 6-year-old girl, who is non-verbal, had a variety of injuries, including to her teeth, and tested positive for fentanyl.

“The understanding is that the children were all severely malnourished and they were severely dehydrated at the time of this intervention by law enforcement,” Sans said.

Ortiz, who lived at the home with his mother, was the primary caretarker for all three children, she said. His mother told investigators she helped at times, and the children’s mother was “in and out of the picture.”

Ortiz’s attorney called the death of the little girl “tragic” and noted that his client had called for help. He asked for a “modest” bail, but the judge agreed with prosecutors and ordered him held without bail pending an indictment and arraignment.
