Authorities in Shenandoah have released the name of an infant who died after being found unresponsive at a daycare center in Shenandoah. Police Chief Kris Grebert identified the child as three-month old Lily McKeever, the daughter of Nichole McKeever, from Thurman.

The incident occurred in the 200 block of West Lowell on Wednesday. Grebert says a caller to 911 said the infant was unresponsive. Lily was taken by ambulance to the Shenandoah Medical Center, where she later died. Chief Grebert says the Iowa Department of Human Services and the State Medical Examiner’s Office are involved in the investigation.

“We did make a call to DHS and to the state because this is a state-licensed daycare where this happened,” he says. “We are ongoing in our investigation on the cause. The coroner was notified and we’re working with them on the cause of the death.”
