North Las Vegas police are investigat­ing the death of an infant reported last month.

Xaden Jackson was not yet 3 months old when he was pronounced dead Sept. 27 at a local hospital, according to the Clark County coroner’s office.

The baby’s cause and manner of death are still pending.

North Las Vegas police spokesman Alexander Cuevas confirmed Thursday that police are investigat­ing the death but could not provide further informatio­n, citing an open investigat­ion.

A Department of Family Services report regarding the infant’s death said he was found unresponsi­ve at a North Las Vegas home and died shortly after being taken to the hospital.

Child Protective Services had received an allegation of abuse in February, five months before Jackson was born, but the allegation was found unsubstant­iated.

The allegation was related to “contact(s) with the child who is the subject of this disclosure or a member of that child’s family or household that is related to the fatality.”
