Almost six months after the death of 15-month-old Cobden toddler Leith Hutchison, police have yet to wind up an investigation or make an arrest.
Leith died at Starship Hospital in Auckland on April 23, two days after the little boy was taken to Grey Base Hospital, in cardiac arrest and not breathing.
Following his death, Greymouth police said they were considering the possibility that Leith had suffered an assault some time prior to his being taken to hospital.
For months afterwards, the police said they were awaiting the results of specialised tests being conducted overseas following the post mortem examination to confirm if the little boy had suffered a brain injury.
West Coast police area Inspector John Canning said today that the only comment he could make at this stage was that the inquiry was active and still "ongoing".
