because healthy 4 year olds don't just die. I'm guessing suffocation, trauma and illness have been ruled out already.

Sad to say, some parents drug their children to get them to sleep so they can go out and work and this isn't a new thing, at all. A teacher friend often had one or more kids addicted to heroin because they'd been given it to drug them to sleep. This was 45 years ago and in Head Start. I imagine the practice has increased as poverty has.
