Officers reportedly responded to a CPR in progress call at around 7:19 a.m. on Tuesday. It was then that the unresponsive 9-month-old was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead at around 8:00 a.m., according to police.

The Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle reports that a Facebook page appearing to belong to Conway indicates he is an Army combat medic from Grand Bay, Alabama, and is the married father of twin girls.
