Deputies are investigating after an infant was found unconscious at a Winlock area home early this morning.

Aid and the sheriff’s office responded about 6:30 a.m. to the 300 block of Nikula Road south of town where the baby was unresponsive, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

The 6-month-old boy was transported to Providence Centralia Hospital where he was pronounced dead, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said.

An investigation is ongoing, Brown said.

Brown said it is not necessarily suspicious at this point, but anytime there is a death of a child, the sheriff’s office gets involved.
