CLARKSVILLE — Police say a child who a Fort Campbell soldier is accused of severely abusing has died from his injuries.

Clarksville arrested 20-year-old Joshua Ryan Starner of Clarksville, Tenn., on Saturday after the 23-month-old boy was found unresponsive in his bed at the soldier’s home.

Police spokesman Jim Knoll said that the child died Sunday at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville.

Starner is currently charged with aggravated child abuse and Knoll said homicide charges are pending.

His bond was set at $1 million. Starner is listed as a specialist corporal in the Army. He did not have an attorney listed in jail records on Sunday.
