Another child has died in Manitowoc County, and maltreatment is again suspected. The death occurred at an unidentified local business on July 19th, but details of the incident are not being released at this time. The Wisconsin Department of Children and Families is claiming that maltreatment is suspected, but Manitowoc Deputy Police Chief Jason Frieboth did not confirm that claim.

The first death was in January 2018, when Matthew Brown-Edwards was arrested following the death of a 2-month-old baby in Two Rivers.
