Detectives investigating toddler’s death By Carrie Rodriguez editor@fedwaymirror.com
Federal Way detectives are investigating the suspicious death of a 13-month-old boy. Police and medics were called out to a report of a CPR in progress at approximately 9:56 a.m. on Jan. 26 in the 35000 block of Eighth Ave. SW. However, medics were unable to revive the toddler. Detectives were called to the
home due to suspicious circumstances and the boy’s age, according to the police report. Prior to police arriving at the residence, the boy’s father left home. Police believe he left due to a no-contact order with his current girlfriend who was at the residence, said Cathy Schrock, spokesperson for the Federal Way Police Department. The father was later arrested
for violating the domestic violence protection order. An autopsy later found that there was no evidence of abuse or physical trauma, Schrock said. However, the boy’s cause of death is still pending further toxicology reports from the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. The investigation is ongoing, awaiting the cause of death.
Arsenic and lead awareness reignited From staff reports
When lead and arsenic soil contamination from the nowclosed Asarco copper smelter was found in King County over a decade ago, health agencies knew it would take ongoing education and outreach to assure that everyone in the contaminated zone was aware of the issue and knew how to minimize risk. A new effort is underway to educate a new generation of south-
west King County residents about the issue. With funds from a $94.6 million bankruptcy settlement with Asarco, Ecology and Public Health – Seattle & King County are relaunching an outreach program in the King County region hardest hit by the windblown contamination, including Federal Way. Components of the new progra m include recruitment for free soil testing. Any property owner in the soil safety service area is eligible to have Ecology contractors take soil samples from their yards to check for arsenic and lead.
