GREENFIELD (Oct. 16, 2014) – An autopsy is set for Friday morning on the body of a young Greenfield boy who was found unresponsive in the bedroom of his parent's Indigo Springs home.

Greenfield police don't expect foul play in the death of Noah Gilliatte, 4.

"In the last 24 hours the child had had flu-like symptons," said Major Derek Towle. "He had a fever. Mom would do like what any mom would and that would be try to control the fever, give him a bath or cold compresses, those types of things.

"She gave him some ibuprofen and was with the child until he fell asleep went back in and checked on him before she went to bed and unfortunately when she woke up this morning with the other kids in the house went to check on the boy and found him unresponsive."

Towle said the mother indicated other children in the large family had recently exhibited signs of a viral illness.

"We want to know who this person's been in contact with, what type of viruses have been going around, symptoms that have been happening," said Towle. "For the boy himself we want to look at his health records, family medical history to see if there's any type of compromising underlying circumstances that that child may have had that would make him more susceptible to a virus."

Greenfield schools have been on fall break and a spokeswoman for the Hancock County Health Department says officials have not yet been brought into the investigation.

Towle said the Division of Family Services would facilitate an examination of the family by physicians at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health.

Police officers who responded to the child's home were instructed to decontaminate themselves, clothing, gear and vehicles after completing their initial investigation.

The autopsy did not locate any evidence that would indicate anything beyond illness as a possible cause of death. Pathologists at the Marion County Coroner’s Office are examining samples taken during the autopsy to determine the actual cause of death.
