What You Might Do Next:

If this is a deeply personal and recent tragedy, it’s possible that:

1. Local funeral home or obituary resources have not yet published information.

2. The incident is still under investigation and has not been publicly released by authorities.

3. Local school or community notices may contain the first published acknowledgment.

If you’re comfortable sharing additional context, I could help you search more precisely—such as:

• The town or county where the family resides (e.g., which part of St. Louis),

• The name of the hospital or coroner’s office involved,

• Or any initial family or community statement posted online (social media, school page, local forum, etc.).
