MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - Local and state authorities are investigating the death of a baby at a rural day care in South Dakota's Davison County.
The state attorney general's office says the death happened on Tuesday. The Bittner Funeral Chapel in Mitchell confirmed the infant was 3-month-old Brooklyn Howard, the daughter of Amy Ruml and Donny Howard.
Relatives of Amy Ruml said the family is struggling with the death and seeking privacy. The baby's funeral and burial are set for Saturday in Mitchell.
The name of the day care has not been disclosed.
