Coroner investigating death

Crittenden County Coroner Joe Myers ordered an autopsy on an infant girl who died early Sunday morning in Marion. The autopsy was completed at the Kentucky Medical Examiner's office in Madisonville. There has been no determination that the two-month-old child died from abuse or any type of foul play; however, the case remains open and The Press is following closely the investigation. 

Olivia Leann Curnell was pronounced dead at 10:10 a.m., Sunday more than an hour after an ambulance was called to a West Elm Street home. The coroner said the girl appeared to have died several hours before the ambulance arrived.

The Press printed edition will have more details. It will be on the streets Wednesday afternoon.
