ST. GEORGE — Police have arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with the death of his infant child Wednesday night.

Police were called out to a home near 110 North and 2710 East around 8 p.m. Wednesday and found the 4-month-old child not breathing, according to a statement from St. George Police.

The child was taken to a St. George hospital and later flown to Primary Children's Medical Center, where he died. Police have not released the cause of death or any other information about the incident.
