Falls Township police, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office and hospital staff investigated the girl’s cause of death after District Attorney David Heckler said she could have died from blunt force trauma.
The girl, identified as Athena Wolfe, was first taken to an area hospital on Sunday, then transported to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she died Monday, the Bucks County Courier Times reports.
Moore has been charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
