A Milwaukee man is due back in court Thursday for the apparent brain death of his six-month-old daughter while she was taking a bath. Twenty-six-year-old Walter Henderson was jailed on a 100-thousand-dollar bond after being charged with fatal child neglect for the November 2nd incident. According to prosecutors, Henderson filled a baby tub with tap water when he left the bathroom for about 90 seconds for a personal matter. When he returned, he heard his baby crying and he saw raw skin on her legs and feet. A medical examiner said she had severe burns across 35 percent of her body and a drop in blood pressure caused her brain damage. The final cause of death is still pending. Henderson’s next court appearance will determine if there’s enough evidence for him to stand trial.
