Infant Dies At Nashua Day Care

NASHUA, NH — A 15-month-old boy died Wednesday after he was discovered not breathing at what police said may be an unlicensed Nashua day care on Ash Street. The day care was located in a residence at 131 Ash Street, according to Nashua police Lt. Kerry Baxter.

On Wednesday at about 2:30 p.m., officers responded to a call at the building after the boy was found unconscious and not breathing. Officers and firefighters immediately started CPR and the boy was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Several more infants were found at the residence, Baxter said. All were medically evaluated and determined to be OK.

"Information that the residence at 131 Ash Street was operating as an unlicensed day care is under
investigation," Baxter said in a statement.

An autopsy was conducted on the boy Thursday and the results are pending.

"The family of the deceased, who are not affiliated with 131 Ash Street, are requesting that the media respect their privacy during this difficult time," Baxter said.
