PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- A father who brought his dead 10-year-old daughter to Miriam Hospital Wednesday afternoon has been charged with abusing her.

After seeing bruises and burns on the girl's body, Pawtucket police charged Jorge DePina, 32, of 48 Knowles St., with first-degree child abuse and cruelty and neglect to a child Thursday.

Maj. Arthur Martins said additional charges may be forthcoming after an autopsy Friday morning. He said DePina told detectives that he found his daughter, Aleida, unconscious.

DePina was arraigned before a bail commissioner and held on $35,000 surety. He'll be arraigned in District Court, Providence, on Friday.
