From Steamboat Today:  The Routt County commissioners are likely to decide Tuesday whether to compensate the Steamboat Pilot & Today for legal fees amounting to $10,287.85, which the newspaper incurred while defending itself last month from a suit filed by the County Coroner’s Office. The suit sought to block the newspaper from obtaining an autopsy report on the cause of death of a 3-year-old Steamboat boy, Austin Davis.

The result of the court hearing May 21 was that District Chief Judge Michael O’Hara ordered Coroner Rob Ryg to release the autopsy report as a public document under the Colorado Open Records Act.

Davis was found unconscious in a cabin at a campground on the west side of Steamboat Springs March 27 by his mother, Meghan McKeon. She has been charged with two counts of felony child abuse resulting in the death of her son.
