— The death of a 4-year-old boy in rural Lincoln County is under investigation, Sheriff Charlie Dougherty said Friday.

The body of Troy Damelio was taken Thursday to the state medical examiner's office in Oklahoma City, spokeswoman Amy Elliott said.

The cause and manner of death have not been determined, Elliott said.

Dougherty said the boy's parents called Thursday to report the child died at the family's trailer home at 850661 S State Highway 18. The parents said he had a fever for about a week before he died.
