News brief: Infant death investigation underway in Toledo area

By Sharyn L. Decker

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of an 8-month-old boy in the Toledo area.

Deputies responded last night to the 200 block of Foster Creek Road because of a report of an aid call about a non-breathing baby with CPR in progress, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies learned the father had found the infant in the crib not breathing, Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said. Nine-one-one was called and CPR begun, Brown said.

The efforts were unsuccessful, she said.

Brown didn’t say if the death was suspicious or why law enforcement was investigating, but did say no further information will be released until after an autopsy, which could possibly take place tomorrow.

    Elsie,
    I do hope you go back and do some current research about the non existent link between autism and vaccinations.
    The old study that the movie and the non vaccination movement was based off was found to be seriously flawed, to the point of being research garbage.
    There has yet to be one scientifically accepted study that links autism to childhood vaccinations.
    On the other side, worldwide, babies and children still die every day from Not being vaccinationated.
    Every parent at the very least should be responsible enough to give their children the best possible shot at a healthy life.

    So so sad! I hope they will look at the immunization records of the child also.. There are becoming more and more links to childhood immunizations with Autism, and other illnesses and even death. Watch the movie BOUGHT at boughtmovie net to see the documentation.

    Sending prayers to the family of this dear angel. I lost a son at 3 months old and no one knows what you go thru unless they have been thru it. May God watch over them and send them the comfort that they need at this time.

    Bobby why don’t you become a super hero or figure out someway to save the babies hell why don’t you start at planned parenthood.

    My prayers are with the family and friends. Losing a sweet baby has got to be one of the hardest things to deal with in life.

    And actually the term SIDS is no longer in use. I was speaking with Coroner McLeod recently and he explained how SIDS is no longer used and the new term which I cannot remember now of course. I am sure if anyone has any questions they can call the coroner’s office and he would explain it fully.

    This is the peak time of year for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and can affect babies up to a year of age. Sending prayers to the family.
