SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - An in-home day care in Sioux Falls
where a 4-month-old child died last week has been shut down while
authorities investigate.
Police say the death doesn't appear suspicious. Spokesman Sam
Clemens says the cause of death for Meredith Ulmer is medical,
but the manner of death hasn't been determined.
He says test results could take months.
City Health Director Jill Franken says Connie Edwards'
registration to operate the day care has been suspended during the
investigation, which is routine for an unattended death.
The city cited Edwards twice earlier this year for having too
many children at her day care. She was cited again last week, and
also cited for having unregistered helpers. She did not immediately
respond to an Associated Press request for comment.
