Police are investigating the death of a 4-month-old baby at a day care center in Levittown, Long Island.
The owner of the day care center, Karen Shriver, put the infant boy down for a nap at about 11 a.m., according to authorities. When she checked on him at 12:30 p.m., he was turning blue and didn't seem to be breathing.
She called 911, and was still performing CPR on the baby when first responders arrived.
The baby was pronounced dead at Nassau County Medical Center.
The day care center was a licensed facility within a private home at 74 Pond Lane.
Medical examiners will perform an autopsy on the baby, who is from Syosset. Charges against Shriver are possible, depending on the results of the autopsy.
Shriver has several minor day care facility violations on her record, including one in January for leaving children without competent supervision for an unspecified period of time. State officials said that violation was corrected.

Chrissy Lebreezy, who has placed both of her children in day care with Shriver, told NBC New York the baby's death is a tragedy but that she would still go back.
"Karen was wonderful and attentive," Lebreezy said.
Neighbors described Shriver as a caring woman.
Investigation is ongoing.
