North Platte police say they are investigating the death of a 10-day-old infant.

On September 11, Officer Beth Kerr says the infant was brought to Great Plains Health unresponsive.

After receiving treatment at GPH, the child was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Omaha where they were placed on life-support in the pediatric intensive care unit.

On October 2, the decision was made to remove life-sustaining measures and the baby passed away a short time later.

Kerr says the cause of the infant’s death is unknown at this time, as is the cause of its initial unresponsive condition.

An autopsy is being conducted and the results are pending.
