An eight month-old Louisville, Kentucky boy was dropped off by his parents at Grandes Bendiciones daycare and died within a few hours. The police are investigating the death, but do not think foul play was involved. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death.

Our sympathies and condolences go out to the family of the boy. This has to be the worst nightmare come true for a parent: you entrust someone with your child, drop him off and then learn a few hours later that he has died.

A tragedy like this raises many questions. It is imperative that a full investigation take place to determine what factors contributed to causing this tragedy that may not readily be apparent and also to preserve evidence.
