It is...tragically...what police expected.

The remains of an 18-month-old boy were found at a Fort Wayne home Tuesday and today the coroner has identified the baby.

The remain found in this home were, at one time, encased in concrete, and mummified, so this made the coroner's examination simpler in ways.

But, the emotional pain of seeing a dead child never becomes easy.

The coroner says the death was caused by blunt force trauma to the head with a skull fracture.

Police believe the death of Braylon Bishop Gonzales took place in July of 2005 in Port Huron, Michigan.

The baby's remains were discovered in the Fort Wayne home of 38-year-old John Gonzales.

Court documents show in October, Gonzales pushed his live-in girlfriend's five-year-old son with such force that the child's head hit a nail sticking out from a wall, causing a laceration on the boy's head.

Gonzales was also convicted of three counts of sexual misconduct in 1997 for having sex with a girl from the time she was 12 to 15.

The coroner says the information from Port Huron police, two of whom are in the area, matched the physical evidence in his investigation.
