Grand County boy’s suspicious death would have remained a rural-Colorado secret if not for watchdogs. More transparency is needed. (Editorial)

When a malnourished and dehydrated 7-year-old died in Grand County with high levels of sodium in his blood, the response from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office was to send an investigator and an assistant county coroner to assure the child’s parents that the investigation would go no further and that documents surrounding the death would never be made public.
