An infant’s unexpected death on Saturday in Trion has prompted a joint investigation between the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, according to Sheriff Mark Schrader.

It is not currently known how the 5-month-old little girl passed. The sheriff’s office first learned of her death Saturday morning when her mother called 9-1-1 from the family’s Ridgeland Drive residence around 7 AM.

Schrader added that the Department of Family and Children Services are involved, but did not specify its role in the investigation.

“Right now, we are just waiting to review the autopsy report from the medical examiner.”
