A toddler has died after wandering away from a residential daycare near Lebanon.

Kentucky State Police said 15-month-old Lincoln Spalding went missing from a daycare on Helm Schoolhouse Road, about 10 miles east of Lebanon, and was found in a pond by the daycare workers. The child was transported to Spring View Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

State police said it appears Lincoln drowned but an autopsy will be performed to confirm his cause of death.

No charges have been filed but the investigation continues.
