Laken Snelling's Baby's Autopsy Released by Coroner
Preliminary autopsy on infant found in Lexington home is inconclusive; extensive microscopic analyses are underway to determine cause and manner of death, coroner reports.
- On Sunday, 21-year-old University of Kentucky senior Laken Snelling was arrested after authorities found her deceased infant boy wrapped in a towel inside a trash bag in a Lexington home closet.
- The arrest followed a police call last Wednesday for an unresponsive infant at the Park Avenue residence, which triggered an ongoing investigation by the Lexington Police special victims section.
- Snelling was arrested and charged with hiding the birth of a baby, interfering with evidence, and mistreating a deceased body; she entered a not guilty plea in court and secured her release by posting a $100,000 bond.
- Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn reported that while the infant’s autopsy has been completed, the results did not conclusively reveal the cause or manner of death, emphasizing that detailed microscopic examination is necessary to reach a definitive conclusion.
- Snelling is currently under home incarceration without an ankle monitor at her parents’ Tennessee home, with a preliminary hearing set for September 26, while investigators continue their methodical death inquiry.
