NORWICH, N.Y. -- The Norwich community is in mourning following the death of a 1-year-old girl after she was allegedly beaten by her father.

Devan Ellsworth, 28, is charged with assault in the second-degree and endangering the welfare of a child.

Police were called to the home on Sunday for a child with a head injury.

The girl was transferred to a Syracuse hospital where she later died.

A small memorial has formed at the Henry Street home.

Neighbors say they are shocked and saddened by what happened, with one even coming to tears even though she did not know the child.

The district attorney says there won't be any additional charges until the proper medical exam has been completed.

Ellsworth is being held at the Chenango County Jail without bail.
