The East Canton Police Department is investigating the death of a 7-month-old boy.

On Tuesday, emergency crews were called to an unlicensed home daycare in the Village of East Canton for reports of an infant, Grant Simmons, not breathing.

The 7-month-old was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.

A judge approved a temporary injunction filed by the village to prevent the owners of the daycare from operating while the investigation continues.

Grant's family told News 5 that a GoFundMe has been set up in his honor.
