BEMIDJI, Minn. -- A 6-year-old Bemidji girl was found dead of exposure to the winter elements Thursday morning at her apartment complex.

The girl's name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin and autopsy results. She was a first-grader at Horace May Elementary School. Officials said they expect to release the name today.

Bemidji police Capt. James Marcotte described the death as "tragic" and said it is under investigation. Marcotte said Beltrami County dispatch received two telephone calls at 6:23 a.m. Thursday, one from the victim's mother and the other from a neighbor.

Marcotte said officers and medical personnel arrived on the scene within minutes of the 911 calls and were directed to a 6-year-old girl who was located inside the front entrance to the apartment building. She was wearing a jacket, boots, hat and mittens when emergency personnel arrived.

These are times I have to believe that...and it's not religious. It's the Law of the Universe, I believe. I also believe that those responsible that don't get their due in this life...what goes around comes around.
