Police investigating the suspicious death of a toddler north of Brisbane say they have identified “inconsistencies” in the information provided to officers.
Jaylen Troy Priest was found in a critical condition at his mother’s home in Burpengary on December 30, 2021.
In a statement on Friday morning, police said they were seeking witnesses on the street in the days leading to the initial ambulance call.
Jaylen Troy Priest, 16 months old, was found by paramedics in a critical condition at home.
The 16-month-old was rushed to hospital from the Staaten Street property.
He died just over a week later at Queensland Children’s Hospital.
The boy’s then-33-year-old stepfather, Aaron Harley James, was accused of murder.
He spent two years behind bars before the charges against him were downgraded to manslaughter and then dropped in 2024.
“Anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity or concerning behaviour in the vicinity … is urged to come forward,” police said on Friday.
“Ongoing investigations have identified a number of inconsistencies from information initially provided.”
