An initial autopsy was conducted Saturday on the body of a Council Bluffs child who died at an apartment complex, last Friday. Bluffs Police Sgt. Chad Meyers says the results of the autopsy on 18-month old Jayden Suriano have not yet been released to authorities, and until that’s done, an investigation into the child’s death will continue. Foul play however, is not suspected.

Meyers says Jayden was playing with his 3-year-old brother when he fell off a ladder. The child’s father was home at the time. Emergency responders took the boy to a local hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead. The accident happened around 10:30 a.m. Friday, at the Featherstone Apartments.

Last month, a 2-year-old boy survived a fall from a second-story window at the apartments.
