One day after one-year-old Traiden Tanner died at a daycare facility in Sophia, an autopsy revealed that the child choked on food and sustained blunt-force trauma to the head. The post mortem was performed on Friday at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
It was reported that the child was pronounced dead after he was taken to a nearby health center on Thursday. The circumstances surrounding his death remain unknown, but his mother, Tonya Knights, told the media that she received a telephone call from a teacher who inquired whether she was aware that her son had a cold.
The teacher subsequently informed her that the child was being taken to the health center, but by the time the mother arrived at the medical facility, her son was already dead.
The police have since arrested a teacher attached to the daycare who remains in custody as investigations continue. The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security is also conducting a probe into the child’s death.
