In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing in­to the death of five-month-old ba­by Levi Lu­cas of St James.

A po­lice re­port said the ba­by boy re­port­ed­ly be­came un­re­spon­sive while at a day­care in La Sei­va, Mar­aval, on Mon­day.

His par­ents were no­ti­fied and took him to the Mar­aval Health Cen­tre. How­ev­er, the in­fant died while re­ceiv­ing med­ical treat­ment.

Po­lice said blood was seen com­ing from the ba­by’s nose. No marks of vi­o­lence were ob­served on his body. 

The par­ents told of­fi­cers that ba­by Levi was dropped off at the day­care around 8.30 am and was ac­tive and in good health. 

How­ev­er, around mid­day, they were called and told that the ba­by was un­re­spon­sive and not breath­ing.

The par­ents took the ba­by to the health cen­tre as the am­bu­lance, which was called, had not yet ar­rived. 

But some 15 min­utes af­ter ba­by Levi was be­ing treat­ed by med­ical of­fi­cials, the par­ents were in­formed that he had died. 

The fa­ther told the po­lice that ba­by Levi was healthy and last at­tend­ed clin­ic on Feb­ru­ary 22 and was im­mu­nised on March 22 by a pri­vate pae­di­a­tri­cian.

An au­top­sy has been or­dered to de­ter­mine the cause of death.
