Inquest Ordered In Baby's Death
An inquest into the death of two month old Raymond Stanley has been ordered by State's Attorney John T. Carmody Jr. after a preliminary autopsy by state pathologist Dr. Richard C. Woodruff showed death by starvation and malnutrition. The inquiry will be held next week with Detective Peter Barton and David Brown assisting. The child died after being taken to Putnam Memorial Hospital following a report to Bennington Village Police from the family home at 237 North St. The autopsy was ordered after the child’s death was linked to the Springfield school fire and related water pressure tests at nearby hydrants and mains. Authorities are seeking to determine all contributing factors and possible negligence.
