Eric Rosenbrook is contesting the official ruling regarding the death of his baby daughter, Alisa. He and his partner, Leida Margaretha, have engaged a private medical examiner to examine the autopsy findings, which they believe were inadequately conducted. The couple’s efforts come after the initial investigation determined that Alisa’s death was “non-accidental,” a conclusion that Rosenbrook strongly disputes.
In an interview, Rosenbrook expressed his dissatisfaction with the findings of the autopsy, stating that their independently hired medical expert has identified several critical oversights in the original examination. He claims that key steps were not followed, particularly concerning the assessment of a fracture noted in the investigation. According to Rosenbrook, their expert has suggested that one of the injuries could have occurred during childbirth, specifically during Alisa’s C-section approximately five weeks prior to her death.
The private medical examiner also raised concerns about a rib fracture mentioned in the autopsy report. Rosenbrook pointed out that such fractures can occur during resuscitation efforts, which further complicates the circumstances surrounding Alisa’s demise.
Rosenbrook and Margaretha have been in conflict with the Adams County Health and Human Services Department regarding its assessment of the situation. He claims the sheriff’s department has not implicated Leida in any wrongdoing and that they had previously requested a review of additional evidence. Despite this, he alleges that the health department showed no interest in their perspective.
In his remarks, Rosenbrook criticized the Child Protective Services (CPS), describing the agency as “the definition of fascism.” He asserted that CPS operates with a heavy-handed approach, treating every parent as if they are at fault.
The official report from Wisconsin indicates that no criminal charges have been filed related to Alisa’s death, and the investigation is ongoing. Leida Margaretha had previously denied any involvement in the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s passing, which occurred after she was taken off life support in July 2025.
As the couple navigates this difficult time, Rosenbrook stated that they have yet to make a decision regarding the possibility of having another child. The case continues to draw attention, highlighting the emotional turmoil faced by families involved in similar situations.
