GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Green Bay Police are awaiting results of a autopsy of a woman found dead last week and medical tests of a two-day old infant found dead over the weekend.
Green Bay Police have identified the woman as 61-year old Holly VanArk.
Captain Kevin Warych says there are three factors that may have contributed to her death.
“Due to her laying on the ground, her fall, her possible level of intoxication and the cold, we all believe contributed to her cause of death.”
Warych said VanArk was dropped off at her residence the night before she was found.
Police were called on scene when her body was found by her brother.
“Something happened outside her residence, and in the process she had tripped and fallen, possibly hitting her head, causing her to lay on the ground.”
Police say VanArk’s body was found last Wednesday morning.
Green Bay Police continue to seek answers to what led to the death of a baby Saturday morning.
Captain Warych said they responded to a call of a non-breathing child, with no pulse, at a home on the 1100 block of Marquette Avenue Saturday morning.
He said their involvement does not necessarily mean criminal actions were involved
“Anytime that there is a death inside a residence in the city of Green Bay, officers respond to investigate.
Medical tests will determine how the baby died, and will determine if any criminal investigation is needed.
“Officers learned that the baby had died, and the baby will now undergo medical tests to determine the cause of death. If the incident is criminal in nature, then we will begin a criminal investigation.”
The child was reported to be dead by the time help arrived.
