A 911 call was made to the Currey family home at 601 College Street in Lerna, Illinois for an unresponsive infant. Four month old Bransyn M Currey did not survive. The father, Isaac Currey told Investigators he dropped his son while taking him out of the bathtub, his breathing changed and he started gasping. The father then put Bransyn to bed without seeking medical assistance. The mother was reportedly not home at the time of the incident. He was pronounced dead in the home.
The autopsy showed Bransyn’s death was caused due to blunt force trauma to the head. Bransyn was beat to death. The Pathologist reported that it was “impossible” to have sustained his injuries from a fall. It was “very clear” he was hit by a fist or other blunt object. There was bleeding on his brain and several skull fractures.
The father, Isaac Currey was arrested and charged with two counts of First Degree Murder. Bond was set at $500,000 (10%). Isaac is facing twenty to life sentence
. The family claims he has hurt others in the family. Prosecutors say Isaac had a history of abusing his wife and three children. Looking at the Shelby County Court Records There was an Order of Protection against Isaac in 2019. Another charge of Domestic Battery with physical contact also in 2019. All charges were dismissed. The warning signs were there.
In the Coles County Court Records, I found another Order of Protection in January 2019, dismissed on the same day. December 2018 Retail theft at Walmart. January 2020 was yet another Order of Protection, the only one active, even though he is in custody. That court date is set for March 26, 2020.
