Folsom man found guilty of murdering 7-month-old son

ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. (WGNO) — A Folsom man has been found guilty of killing his seven-month-old son back in February of 2018.

According to the Office of District Attorney Collin Sims, Corey Nauck admitted to “losing it,” slamming the baby’s head on the ground five to seven times after he would not stop crying.

Medical personnel reportedly stated that Nauck provided several excuses as to how his son, then at the hospital in critical condition, had sustained his injuries, claiming that he had been dropped or that he had fallen off the changing table. His admittance of guilt, however, came later.

The infant was initially treated at the St. Tammany Parish hospital, but was air-lifted to another hospital on the south shore due to the extent of his injuries. There, he was determined to have no brain activity, and was taken off of life support two days later, on Feb. 28, 2018.

A jury concluded that Nauck had intended to either kill or cause great bodily injury to his son, proceeding to find him guilty of first-degree murder.

On April 16 Nauck will receive a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence.
