THE police are investigating the mysterious death of a three-month-old infant who died on Friday morning while in the care of teachers at a daycare and preschool facility located in Kaneville, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
The child has been identified as Kyre Anthony Nelson of First Field Kaneville. He died sometime between 08:00 hrs and 14:00 hrs.

The infant’s mother, Rebecca Anthony explained that she took her son to the daycare around 08:00 hrs on Friday and handed him to one of the two teachers who were working at the facility at the time. She then left for work.
According to the police, the teacher reported that she collected little Nelson from his mother and fed him his tea sometime around 09:00 hrs. She then claimed that she placed him in a crib some two hours later and attended to another child.

Around midday, the teacher alleged that she started prepping other children who had to go home early and when she peeped into the baby’s crib, she saw him lying face down on his pillow. When she turned him over, she saw blood oozing from his nostril. She said that she called out for the second teacher and they took the baby to the kitchen and washed his face but he was not responding.
The infant’s mother was contacted and the baby was taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The facility is owned by a 56-year-old woman who is currently vacationing in the United States of America.
