The infant boy sealed in concrete by a Brooklyn couple charged with pimping out his enslaved hooker mom, was beaten to death, the Daily News has learned.
The baby, Carlos Santillana, was only 2 months old when he died, but his brief life was miserable.
A spokeswoman for the city medical examiner said little Carlos suffered blunt impact injuries to his head, torso and extremities.
"The cause of death is battered child syndrome," said spokeswoman Ellen Borakove.
Federal agents and cops made the horrifying discovery of Carlos' body sealed inside a Rubbermaid storage bin on Nov. 25 after raiding a Sunset Park apartment where a sex-trafficking ring was allegedly based.
The feds charged alleged ringleaders Domingo Salazar, 33, and Norma Mendez, 32, with forcing the baby's mother, who is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, into prostitution two weeks after the baby was born to pay off her smuggling debt.
The couple may face upgraded charges.
