Jacksonville Police: 10 year-old girl's death undetermined

We have learned new information about the weekend death of a 10 year-old girl in her home.

Jacksonville Police were called Saturday night to the home north of Oceanway, on Devan Lee Drive East.   The JSO Public Information Office tells WOKV News the cause of death is "undetermined" but they do not suspect foul play.
According to a police report, Kayla Ryan Thomas was found not breathing in her father's bedroom.  The father had just returned home from work Saturday night and found his daughter rolled up tightly (like a burrito) in a brown blanket and that she was laying between the footboard and mattress. 

A female family member was home with Kayla, and tells police she last saw the girl watching TV in her dad's bedroom. 
Kayla Thomas was a student at New Berlin Elementary School.
