The family says child protection services were called before the death of a 3-year-old girl, Holly Township

HOLY CITY, Mich. – The family of a 3-year-old girl, Holly Township, who died on Saturday, said she had severe bruises and internal bleeding.

Michigan State Police are investigating the death of Trinity Chandler. Christine Cunningham is Trinity’s grandmother. Christine Cunningham said her daughter received a message from her boyfriend on Saturday morning.

“He said, ‘Something’s wrong with Trinity, she’s not getting up.’ So he took her to the fire department, “said Christine Cunningham.

Police said the mother’s boyfriend was arrested.

Trinity Chandler is Ronda Osterberg’s great-granddaughter.

“How can you leave it to a firefighter instead of calling 911?” Said Ronda Osterberg.

“There’s something wrong,” said Christine Cunningham. “Why not call 911 and get an ambulance there?”

The family said someone had contacted Child Protection Services in the past about concerns about Trinity’s well-being.

“It simply came to our notice then. They didn’t feel good, “said Ronda Osterberg. “There were two black eyes, a shell on his cheek – CPS closed the case.”

The family said she was devastated.

“She was loved,” said Christine Cunningham.
