8-Month-Old Girl Found Dead in Bed
Juanita Coleman, 8-month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Coleman, 517 Superior St., was found dead in her bed this morning.
Mrs. Coleman found her about 7:06 a.m. and telephoned Niles city police for help. Police arrived and administered oxygen until the child was moved to Pawating Hospital by private ambulance.
The baby girl was pronounced dead at the hospital at 7:30 a.m. Dr. Russel J. Vastine, Berrien County medical examiner, ruled death was due to natural causes.
Dr. Vastine said the little girl had been suffering from an “overwhelming infection” which he said was the cause of death. The child had been hospitalized about two weeks ago with pneumonia.
