The death of baby Chance drew national attention last year. Authorities say the baby gasped for breath for hours after being beaten by his 36-year-old father Joseph Walsh. He faces second-degree murder and child neglect charges. Police say Chance eventually choked on a diaper wipe. Chance was buried near their home in Sarasota before his parents left Florida to start a new life.
