An investigator with the Clark County Coroner’s Office said Tuesday the death doesn’t appear to be suspicious and hasn’t been ruled a homicide.
The office investigates all children’s deaths, she said, and she declined to release the child’s name, age or if he had a medical condition, saying it’s an open investigation.
The baby’s father said he fed the child about 3 a.m. Sunday and put the baby back in his crib, a police report says. The boy’s mother then found him in his crib about 10 a.m. Sunday and yelled out to call 9-1-1, the report says.
Investigators said it appeared the baby had been dead for several hours, the police report says.
