Baker tragedy: Sheriff’s Office releases autopsy results

An autopsy was conducted Monday by the Medical Examiner’s Office in connection with the May 6 death of a 7-year-old Baker child.

Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office investigators say evidence points to her death being the result of an accident.

The girl was found hanging from a homemade swing in her backyard around 6 p.m. Saturday by her father, who had just arrived home.

She was not breathing when located and was later pronounced dead at North Okaloosa Medical Center in Crestview.

Her mother says the child had only been outside a short time when she was discovered.
