The child death team is investigating the death of a 7-week-old baby boy at an apartment at 525 Don Cutler, Sr. Drive.
Investigator Greg Blackmon says the infant was sleeping in a bed with the mother. He says the mother woke up to find that her son was not breathing. Blackmon says a neighbor made the emergency call, and the child was dead when EMS arrived on the scene.
He says autopsy results should be ready in the morning.
Blackmon says he cannot determine if the 7-week-old died from natural causes at this time. He says they are treating the incident with suspicion because, with the Child Death Team, “that’s what we’re supposed to do.”
