Kingsville Police are investigating how a 14-month old boy died while in the care of his babysitter.

Authorities says it was on Friday when the baby sitter told them she found the boy laying on the floor not breathing. He was rushed to a Kleberg County Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities say an autopsy will be conducted later this week to find out if foul play was involved. The names of the child and baby sitter are not being released at this time.
