MONTCALM COUNTY, Mich. — Funeral services for Vayda Vasquez will be held on Saturday at noon at the Stanton First Congregational Church.
The toddler was found unresponsive at a babysitter's Montcalm County home on Monday.
Michigan State Police said Wednesday that Vayda's death has been ruled a homicide. Her cause of death is not being released at this time due to the ongoing investigation.
MSP responded to a house on West Stanton Road after multiple calls came in after 5:30 a.m. on March 2. Troopers and EMS attempted life-saving efforts, but they were unsuccessful.
Vayda would have turned 2 in a little over a month. She lived under the guardianship of her maternal grandmother, Tonia Rose, but she had been staying at a babysitter's home a mile away when she died.
The visitation is being held on Friday at the Simpson Family Funeral Home in Stanton from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
