An infant was pronounced dead after law enforcement and medical personnel responded to an emergency call early Thursday at a southwestern Minnesota casino.

Lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful when first responders were called to the hotel at Prairie’s Edge Casino Resort for an unresponsive infant, according to a news release from Upper Sioux Community Chief of Police Dan DeSmet.

The 1-month-old was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after the 6:30 a.m. 911 call.

The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office will perform an autopsy, according to DeSmet. The case is currently under investigation, and no further details were released.

Prairie’s Edge Casino Resort, which is operated by the Upper Sioux Community, is located three miles south of Granite Falls.
