A 10-week-old baby girl who lost consciousness while at a Queens park with her mother was pronounced dead at a hospital Wednesday, police said.
The baby girl, who has since been identified as Zoey Kaplan of Queens, was with her mother and her mother's friend at Hawthorne Park, located at Borage Place and Burns Street in Forest Hills, police said. When the mother went to check on Zoey in her stroller, she found the girl vomiting.
Police responded to a 911 call around 12:30 p.m. By the time they arrived at the park Zoey had lost consciousness. EMS transported the girl to North Shore Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival, according to police.
Police say an investigation is ongoing and that no charges will be filed until a medical examiner determines what killed her.
