A Widefield woman was arrested Monday in connection with the February death of an infant who asphyxiated at her unlicensed in-home day care, the El Paso County Sheriff s Office said Monday.
An autopsy provided by the El Paso County Coroner s Office identified the victim as 3-month-old Delavan Johnson; the sheriff s office would not provide the child s name.
Delavan asphyxiated after being placed on his left side in an adult bed with two sheets, a blanket and a comforter under him at a day care provider. Nearly an hour later, he was found face down, unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at a hospital that evening. Pneumonia contributed to his death, according to the autopsy report, which declares his death accidental.
