TOPEKA, KS--- A new report from the Kansas State Child Death Review Board shows the number is the lowest since 1995. Natural deaths remained the most common followed by motor vehicle accidents.

Executive Director of the Board, Angela Nordhus, says "We analyze circumstances surrounding child fatality so that individuals, groups and organziations can see a clear picture of this tragic issue."

The report didn't mention a specific reason for the decline, but review board members say they are happy to make Kansas a safer place for our kids.
