The death of three-year-old Auckland toddler Dylan Rimoni is now being treated as a homicide, police say.
Dylan died in Auckland's Starship Children's Hospital on Friday after his life support system was turned off. He was taken to Middlemore Hospital on Tuesday night.
Police said the death was suspicious and the cause was "unexplained head injuries".
A 38-year-old man and 36-year-old woman have been charged with possessing materials to make methamphetamine and possessing a rifle after police last week searched the house where the child lived.
They appeared in Papakura District Court today where police said the man was a suspect in the boy's death.
He was remanded in custody to reappear tomorrow while the woman has been granted bail.
