Daniel Gedzius was a 10-week-old infant who died on March 21, 1987. His death was one of six fatalities among the children of Debbie Gedzius (also recorded as Deborah Anne Booe Narbone Gedzius) between 1972 and 1987. At the time, the deaths were attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, a diagnosis that was widely accepted then.

As medical understanding changed, experts and some family members questioned whether multiple SIDS deaths in one family was plausible. Cook County’s medical examiner later revisited the cases and a grand jury investigation was opened to examine whether foul play had occurred. Debbie Gedzius was never formally charged. She later moved to Las Vegas and died in a car crash on July 11, 2002.

Does anyone with knowledge of the family or these cases have information that could shed light on Daniel’s death?
