Description
Michael seemed in good health at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, 1983, when Bensons sister, Susan, left his apartment to return to her own apartment in the same complex. Bensons wife, Sarah, returned from work at 11:00 p.m., at which time the child was in his crib, presumably asleep. Benson informed his wife at 6:00 the next morning that the baby "had passed away." When the couple arrived at the Utah Valley Hospital emergency room with Michael at about 7:00 a.m., his body was cold and rigid. A physician pronounced him dead upon arrival. An autopsy revealed that death was caused by a subdural hematoma accompanied by multiple contusions of the body, including neck injuries resulting from choking that could have been sufficient to kill a four-month-old child. The medical examiner concluded that the autopsy findings were inconsistent with accidental death and consistent with battered child syndrome and homicide. The childs death was estimated to have occurred between six to eight hours prior to the time he arrived at the hospital and between twelve to thirty-six hours prior to the autopsy performed at 11:00 a.m. of that day.
