Nauvoo Mom Arrested in Daughter's Death

Nauvoo Police Department

A Nauvoo woman has been arrested in connection with last month's death of her infant child.

The Nauvoo Police Department said Jody Price, 33, is charged with Endangering the Life or Health of a Child. 

Police said more charges are possible as the investigation continues.

Price's infant child died on July 21, 2014.  It's unclear what led police to arrest Price five weeks later.

Price is being held in the Hancock County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
