Phillip Brian Edwards, a 35-year-old man from High Point, North Carolina, was found dead on February 14, 2018. Edwards died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His death was discovered alongside that of a 6-week-old baby, whose cause of death remains undetermined. The bodies were found in a residence on Suits Road in Archdale, North Carolina, after a 911 call was made by Edwards' live-in girlfriend. She had spent the night with family and found the bodies upon returning home.
Investigators have not confirmed whether the man and the baby were related.
Edwards' death has been ruled a suicide, and there were no signs of forced entry into the home. The Randolph County Sheriff's Office stated that there is no threat to public safety in the area. A family friend suggested that Edwards took his own life after discovering that the baby had died from a medical issue overnight, but this information has not been confirmed by investigators.
There have been no arrests, suspects, or charges filed in connection with this incident. The investigation concluded that Edwards' death was a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the baby's cause of death remains unexplained. The case did not lead to any litigation or legal proceedings.
