Detroit — When a Detroit police officer saw 9-year-old Owen Rosario at the hospital just before he died, Owen was bruised, scarred and scratched "pretty much head to toe."

Owen's guardians, Sherman Devaughn Jones, 46, and his wife, Sampaguita Jones, 41, had brought him to the hospital after they found Owen unresponsive, said Officer Ibn-Ameer Shakoor. Owen had been sick with a cough, but the Jones' told Shakoor they didn't think it was anything serious.
