Selma, Ind. – Indiana State Police are investigating the death of a 10-year-old found in a vehicle in Selma, Indiana. The child, with a documented lifelong medical condition, was discovered in the evening hours, prompting an immediate response from emergency personnel and law enforcement. At this difficult time, investigators are working to understand the circumstances surrounding the child’s passing. The Delaware County Coroner’s Office will be conducting an autopsy to determine the official cause and manner of death. At this time, there does not appear to be anything suspicious about the death. Once completed, the investigation will be reviewed by the prosecuting attorney. Indiana State Police detectives were assisted in this investigation by the Selma Police Department, Delaware County Sheriff’s Department, Delaware County EMS, Liberty Township Fire Department, Delaware County Coroner, Albany Police Department, and Gaston Police Department. Further information will be shared as the investigation progresses and more details become available.
