The Mercer County Sheriff's Department was called to this 5098 Rauh Road in Fort Recovery Sunday evening after receiving multiple calls of an unresponsive 4-year-old child.
911 CALL: "I think he killed one of his girlfriend's kids or hurt him really bad."Â
This 911 call from Cory Eischen's ex wife a little before 8pm Sunday. That's after picking up her son from Eischen's home off Rauh Road.Â
911 CALL: "All I know is my son was in the bedroom, and his dad said the little boy was in the shower and he wasn't breathing."
Another call came in just after 8 from Eischen's father who was at the residence.Â
911 CALL: "I'm trying to do CPR on him right now. I got the phone in one hand and I'm not getting anything. He's cold to touch."
The victim, 4-year-old Jaxxen Baker, was the son to Eischen's live in girlfriend Cassidy Spitzer, who wasn't home at the time. The child was transported to Mercer Health and pronounced dead shortly after.
"You see that kind of stuff and you just have to ask yourself why. Why? How could that happen?" Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said.
The Mercer County Coroner ruled the death as a homicide based on multiple blunt force trauma. Eischen is currently being held on a probation violation of a 2014 domestic violence case, as this case is investigated and charges are formally filed.Â
"We're going to bring this guy to justice. We have a good prosecutor's office. I've got some really good, competent deputies, and we're going to put that case together and let the justice system do its thing," Sheriff Grey said.
Sheriff says the case is now in the hands of the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office.Â
