A child found unconscious at a Pulaski County day care who died hours later Thursday appears to have suffered from an undiagnosed medical issue, according to a preliminary assessment from the medical examiner's office.
A Pulaski County sheriff's deputy was sent to Bingham Road Baptist Church Child Development Center at 923 W. Bingham Road about 2:40 p.m. Thursday after getting a call that a 4-year-old boy was unresponsive, according to a report.
The child was in the director's office when the deputy arrived, the report said.
The boy was taken to Arkansas Children's Hospital and later pronounced dead, sheriff's office spokesman Lt. Chris Ameling said Thursday. The body was taken to the state Crime Laboratory in Little Rock for an autopsy.
A preliminary result indicates the child died from an undiagnosed medical issue, Maj. Carl Minden of the sheriff's office said in an email Friday. No further details were released.
