Authorities have released the name of a child who died after being found unresponsive in her Trussville home early Monday.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the girl as Khloe Teresa Williamson. She was 5, and the daughter of a Trussville City Schools teacher.

Trussville police and fire medics were called to a home on Kestral View Road at 6:30 a.m. after family found Khloe unresponsive inside a laundry hamper.

She was rushed to St. Vincent’s East where she was pronounced dead at 7:17 a.m.

An autopsy was performed on Monday. Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said the cause of death is pending additional lab studies.

Police on Monday said they believe Khloe’s death was accidental. The investigation is ongoing.

A statement issued by Trussville City Schools Monday night said Khloe – a kindergartner – was a “precious, smart, and inquisitive child whose heartbreaking loss has affected us all.”

“This is a very sad and tragic event, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family,’’ the school system’s statement read. “We are arranging to have counselors on-site for our students and staff in the wake of this tragedy.”

“We are more than a school system in Trussville, we are a family,’’ according to the statement. “Something like this touches us all, and we will provide support to the family in the coming days and weeks as they deal with this tragic loss.”
