MILWAUKEE (AP) — A medical examiner's report says the infant boy who died after he stopped breathing on a United Airlines flight had been discharged from a Michigan hospital earlier in the day.

The report says 2-month-old Jensen Provencial was flying home to Mission, S.D., with his parents after he was discharged from University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich., Wednesday.

The investigator's report says the infant was born with a congenital heart defect and had spent most of his short life in the hospital.

A passenger on the flight from Detroit to Denver tried to revive the child while the plane made an emergency landing in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office says an autopsy could be done Thursday.
