Middlesex DA: Death of 15-month-old boy last summer considered a homicide

WOBURN, Mass. — The Middlesex District Attorney has ruled the death of a 15-month-old boy a homicide after receiving a ruling from the Medical Examiner.

Noah Larson was in the care of a babysitter last August when he was found unresponsive.

The following months, his parents spoke to Boston 25 News' Kerry Kavanaugh and said they believed someone intentionally harmed their son.

"It hurts me knowing whoever did this has as much freedom as I do, but my son is gone,” Noah’s father Paul Larson said last year.

Noah’s sister Emilia was also injured, but the parents said they couldn’t elaborate how.

In the September, 2016 interview, Noah’s mother Lindsey Keane said it appeared as if what happened to her son was done intentionally.

"That's what it looks like as of now, yes," she said. "This was with intent, with malice, yes."

In March of this year, Keane said there had still been no update from the DA.

“We are just very worried that if there is no attention drawn to this that they will forget about it. They will sweep it under the rug,” she said.

In a Facebook post Thursday night after the homicide ruling, Paul Larson said "Never stop fighting for what you believe in! I'll fight for you until my last breathe is taken. I love you son!
