Bergstad, David: 1971

David Bergstad, 18 (23) months old, was found dead in a tub of hot water by his mother in the Juniata section of Altoona on June 23, 1971.  An autopsy was ordered to determine if death was by scalding or drowning.  He had been placed in the filling tub by his eight year old sister on Wednesday, and then left attended.  Questionable.
