Sheriff’s office called out to infant’s death
Staff of the Montague County Sheriff’s office are investigating the death of a one-month infant girl in the Lake Nocona area.
Chief Deputy Jack Lawson said the emergency call from a mother who said her baby was not breathing came in at 11:55 a.m. Thursday in the Nocona Lake Estates area. The ambulance arrived and transported the infant to Nocona General Hospital where the death was pronounced.
Deputy Andrew Miller is the investigator in this death. Lawson said officers were assisted at the scene by Texas Ranger Craig Stephens and District Attorney Investigator Chris Hamilton.
On Friday Deputy Miller was at the Dallas Medical Examiner’s office awaiting autopsy results and a possible preliminary cause of death. The SO did not want to release any additional information on this death as the investigation is in the preliminary stages.
