A 2-year-old child was found unresponsive in an Edmond apartment last Sunday night, prompting a police investigation. First responders administered CPR at the scene, but the child was later pronounced dead, authorities said. Detectives have launched an inquiry to determine the circumstances surrounding the death.
According to KFOR, the call came in around 11:00 p.m. from an apartment complex near Wynn Drive and West 33rd Street, where Edmond Fire and AMR crews responded alongside police. Officers performed life-saving measures and reported no obvious signs of trauma on the child. Edmond police said two adults and two other children were present when officers arrived.
Recent local context
