OGDEN, Utah (AP) — An Ogden man is accused of physically abusing his 8-week-old daughter, leading to her death.

The Standard-Examiner of Ogden reports (http://bit.ly/2dBi5Wf) that police arrested 25- year-old Michael Lee Hatton early Saturday on the charge of suspicion of murder in the death of daughter Avery.

He is being held in Weber County Jail on $1 million bail.

According to Ogden police, emergency crews responded to a call about an infant no longer breathing on Oct. 2.

The crews met the girl's mother on a street after she started driving to the hospital.

The baby later died at the hospital.

Police say the investigation found that Hatton had abused Avery resulting in lethal consequences.

They have not disclosed the nature of the child's injuries.
