YUKON, Okla. (AP) — An attorney says an Oklahoma day care center has closed after a 6-month-old boy found unresponsive there died.

John Cannon of Cannon Law Firm said in a statement Wednesday to The Oklahoman that the operators of the Legacy Learning Academy in Yukon are cooperating with authorities to determine why the child died. Cannon, who represents the center, said it will remain closed until further notice and academy operators also are considering new safety precautions for children at the day care center.

A worker at the academy found Sterling Michael Gerber unresponsive on July 11. Officials say the child was behaving normally earlier in the day but had stopped breathing.

The child was treated at a pediatric intensive care facility in Oklahoma City for several hours before he was pronounced dead.
