Authorities in southwestern Iowa are releasing more information about an incident last month that left two people dead.
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said its investigation began after a juvenile suffering from a medical emergency was brought by private vehicle to the hospital in Harlan, during the early morning hours of June 16th.
The child underwent life-saving measures by multiple emergency personnel, before being transferred to Children’s Hospital in Omaha.
Authorities say the incident that resulted in the emergency is believed to have taken place at a residence in Shelby.
Through an investigation Nicholas Segebart – who was caring for the juvenile – was identified as a suspect in the incident, and a search warrant was executed at his home.
On June 18th, law enforcement in Illinois located Segebart. He had died from a self-inflicted wound(s).
The juvenile in his care later died from injuries believed to have been caused by Segebart.
