Police say foul play is NOT suspected in the death of an infant at a northern Iowa in-home day care. A news release from the Manly Police Department stated Worth County dispatchers received a 911 call on December 28 at 3 p.m. about a baby not breathing. The 7-month-old girl was later pronounced dead at a Mason City hospital.

Manly Police Chief Aaron Pals calls it “a tragic event and a delicate time for all involved.” He noted an autopsy has been conducted, but for now, the results are not being released. Pals provided an update late Tuesday afternoon – confirming foul play is NOT suspected in the case. No charges have been filed.
