Police investigating death of boy at Eudora day care

emergencyEUDORA, Kan. (AP) — The license for a Eudora day care is under emergency suspension after a 9-month-old boy died there last month.

Eudora Police Capt. Daniel Flick says officers received a report Sept. 29 of an unresponsive infant at the Sunshine Kids Group Daycare Home. When officers arrived they found staff administering CPR to the boy, who was later pronounced dead at a Lawrence hospital.

Flick says a preliminary autopsy led investigators to believe the boy’s death was suspicious and the department asked Douglas County authorities for help with the investigation.

The emergency suspension is under appeal and awaiting a hearing.

Flick says no arrests have been made in the case.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports a representative for Sunshine Kids Group Daycare Home declined to comment on the incident.
