LONDON, Ohio — Police in Madison County says the death of a 6-month-old boy appears to be accidental.

Emergency crews from London Fire and London Police went to a home in the 100 block of North Oak Street Sunday around 10:50 a.m. on a call about an unresponsive child.

The infant was taken to Madison Health where he was pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation showed the child's death appears to have been accidental. 

The child was sleeping in an adult bed and moved to a position against the mattress and pillows, which caused the child to suffocate.

An autopsy will be conducted by the Montgomery County Coroner's Office and a final report will then be released by the Madison County Coroner.
