Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death last week of a six-month old boy who lived in Big Lake, said Commander Ben Zawacki.

The deceased has been identified as Gideon Peter Mwangi. Preliminary autopsy results show that he died from bacterial meningitis, Zawacki said.

According to Big Lake police, around 8 a.m. officers responded to a medical call on the 5500 block of Aberdeen Way. 

At the scene, officers found the six-month-old infant unresponsive and not breathing. The infant ultimately died at the scene, police said.

Investigators discovered an extremely dirty and cluttered house when responding to the 911 call last Friday and found black mold in numerous locations throughout the house. The house has been deemed unlivable by health officials.

The investigation into Mwangi’s death is active and ongoing. No arrests have been made as a result of investigators’ findings thus far.
