Death of 5-Month-Old Child Under Investigation

Authorities are waiting for the results of an autopsy from the Office of Vermont's Chief Medical Examiner

Vermont State Police say they hope an autopsy will provide some clarity on the death of a five-month-old boy.

Detective Lt. Dan Trudeau tells the Burlington Free Press the boy's uncle was babysitting him in South Royalton when he became unresponsive around 2 a.m. Sunday. South Royalton Rescue tried to resuscitate him as he was being transported to Gifford Medical Center in Randolph.

Trudeau says the Hartland infant died around 3 a.m.

Trudeau says the death remains under investigation. Authorities are waiting for the results of an autopsy from the Office of Vermont's Chief Medical Examiner in Burlington on Monday.
