There is another story I found that I posted below it also has a video if you go to the link. They haven't released anymore details that I'm aware of so it's not known how the child actually died.

A Laurel County family is mourning the death of 23-month-old Stephen Troy. The toddler died Friday morning at the trailer he shared with his mother Amanda Troy, her boyfriend Will Callahan, and his two children.

Callahan was watching all three children while Troy was at work. He told NEWSFIRST that Stephen had been dealing with a respiratory and stomach illness in recent days but it didn't seem too serious. Callahan said that while sitting on the couch with all three children, Stephen suddenly slumped over and was unresponsive. He said he tried to revive the child and called 911. Stephen was transported to St. Joseph's Hospital in London where he was pronounced dead at 9:07 a.m.

Kentucky State Police were called to investigate the child's death since it wasn't clear how he died. The Laurel County Coroner said that foul play has not been ruled out in the child's death.

Troy's body was taken to Frankfort for autopsy at the state medical examiner's office.

[to whom it may concern]

my prayers for the family

[so sorry]

Kentucky State Police say the death of a 23-month-old boy who passed away Friday was murdered.

The Laurel County coroner says Stephen Troy died from blunt force trauma to the abdomen. State Police say they cannot elaborate anymore on how those injuries came about.

State Police say someone reported Troy was unresponsive and having trouble breathing at his Mother's boyfriend's house on Ruby Jones Road in East Bernstadt Friday around 8:30 a.m. We're told Troy's mother performed CPR until paramedic's arrived. He was taken to the Saint Joseph of London hospital and pronounced dead at 9:07 a.m.

State Police say they are being asked not release any names of possible suspects

"State Police say they are being asked not release any names of possible suspects."

I wonder who is asking them not to release names of possible suspects?

most cases ARE the boyfriend or a girlfriend.these people that have no standards allow scum around their children.children are forced into these situation.

[Hey]

My god. You let a man OR anyone try to lay a finger on one of my children, and you will see my name in the paper for killing a sorry SOB! There is NO excuse for anyone to let anyone else hurt their child. NONE!

[I know one]

Why are the police keeping the identities of suspects private? They work together, and where they work is a place where all kinds of liars and creeps work. He is a liar, has never been able to tell the truth to save his life. I worked with him and never liked him. Sad situation for all involved and mostly for the children that have no other choice.

Even though it may be the boyfriend who did this, it needs to be kept in mind the police are STILL investigating. Little Stephen could have obtained that injury hours before he died depending on how much he was bleeding and several different factors. Stephen was with his grandparents all day the day before, his biological father the night before, and even his mother was with him just shortly before his death. I would hate to think ANYONE could do this to him or any child, but it could have been ANY of those people! Let the police do their job before placing the blame. I just pray for the family and little Stephen. At least God has his arms tight around him now so that he is no longer suffering. I hope justice is done to the RIGHT person!

Being a liar/ dumb A**/ or a**hole does not make you a child abuser. There are a lot of creeps out there that I don't like in this world, but they don't go home and beat their kids.
