LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — Investigators in Leavenworth say a 1-year-old died at a hospital on Wednesday night, and the toddler’s injuries were suspicious.

Leavenworth police tell FOX4 that officers received a call just after 5:30 p.m. at the Woodland Village Apartments where the 1-year-old was hurt, so far the type of injuries haven’t been revealed. The apartments are near Wilson Avenue and Limit Street, just west of Veterans Administration Park and the banks of the Missouri River.
