CLAY COUNTY, Ind – Indiana State Police are investigating the death of a nine month old infant male from rural northern Clay County. 

Police say that just after 10:30 this morning (Saturday 7/7/18), an adult family member found the infant unresponsive in the infant’s bedroom crib area and called 911.

The Parke County Sheriff’s Office received the call, notified the Clay County Sheriff’s Office for fire/rescue units, and then the Parke County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher instructed family members how to perform CPR via the phone.  

Family members began and continued CPR until arrival of fire-EMS crews, at which time the infant was transported to St. Vincent-Clay Hospital in Brazil and was later pronounced deceased. 

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday, July 9, at Terre Haute Regional Hospital and will be performed by Pathologist Dr. Roland Kohr. 

At this time, detectives have no indication of foul play and continue to investigate this death.  

Troopers say that they will release more information when it becomes available.
