JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — UPDATE: On July 7, the Medical Examiner released the child’s autopsy. According to the report, the child’s cause of death was “viral infections” and the manner of death was “natural."
An investigation is underway after a child died following an incident at a Jacksonville daycare Tuesday, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police say around 2:40 p.m., units were dispatched to Karoxa Williams Child Care in the 5600 block of Pansy Lane in response to an unresponsive infant.
JSO says that they found the child unresponsive, and rushed them to a nearby hospital where they were pronounced dead.
Detectives determined that the child was asleep in a crib, taking a nap, when an employee found the child in distress and called 911.
JSO says there does not appear to be any foul play. However, the sheriff's office will be working with the Medical Examiner's Office to determine the cause of death. According to the report First Coast News obtained Friday, the child's cause of death was "viral infections" and the manner of death was "natural."
The Department of Children and Families were notified and are assisting JSO with the investigation.
