Indianapolis, Ind.--An Indianapolis man has been charged with murder after he admitted to repeatedly beating his 4-year-old son, leading to the boy's death Saturday, CBS affiliate WISH-TV reports.

Dennis Price, 29, called police shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday and said his child took pills, was unconscious and not breathing, reports WISH-TV.

Detectives went back to the home and recovered a bottle of Ibuprofen and three belts.

Price has been charged with murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death, and battery resulting in the death of a person less than 14 years of age.
