It could take another two months to determine how a 1-year-old girl from Penobscot County died, according to state officials.

Eleanora McLaughlin was found unresponsive on the morning of Dec. 28 at a house in Milford. Maine State Police are investigating her death, as they do the deaths of all children younger than 3, but have released few details.

State police have said there is no danger to the public and that the investigation remains active.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has completed an autopsy on the child, but the cause of death has not yet been determined. Lindsey Chasteen, director of operations for the office, said the cause of death may not be determined for another 6 to 8 weeks because the state is waiting for test results.

State police spokesperson Shannon Moss said Wednesday that she had no additional details to release and referred questions about the family to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services.

Lindsay Hammes, a spokesperson for DHHS, said “the loss of any child is devastating and tragic,” but could not say if the department is involved with the investigation or had prior contact with the family.

“As a matter of statute, the department is prohibited by state and federal confidentiality laws from offering further comment,” Hammes said in a statement.
