Baby dies after allegedly hitting head at EBD daycare

A three-month-old baby reportedly died on Friday while in the care of a preschool and Day Care Centre at Samatta Point, Grove, East Bank Demerara.
The dead child has been identified as Kyrie Anthony Nelson of 7th Street, Kaneville/Grove, EBD.
While information about the incident is sketchy, reports suggest that the child might have fallen and hit his head. Neither the parents nor the guardians were contacted until after the baby had reportedly become unresponsive. Up to press time, no additional details were available.
Back in March 2023, 7-month-old Oriya Gravesande reportedly suffocated and died at a private daycare at Ogle, East Coast Demerara.
An autopsy revealed that that infant died from haemorrhage and compression to the neck.
The child’s parents had revealed to the media that, on the day in question, they received a call from the daycare, informing them that their daughter was unresponsive. The mother claimed she was contacted two hours after the incident, and by the time she arrived at the hospital, she was told that her baby had died.
It was reported that the child had fallen off a bed and had become trapped in some sheets. It is suspected that this had led to her demise.
In April, the owner of the daycare, Denise Benn, was charged with the lesser count of manslaughter and was remanded to prison. She later secured bail through the High Court in the sum of $500,000.
