3-Month-Old Baby Dies in the Bronx

A 3-month-old infant died after she was found unresponsive in the Bronx Saturday morning, authorities said.

Police and EMS workers responded to a call of an unconscious baby girl at 1965 Lafayette Avenue in Unionport at around 10:30 a.m., and rushed the child to Jacobi Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Police say the mother claimed she put the baby to bed, went to sleep herself and when she woke up the baby was unconscious.

The medical examiner will determine the cause of death. An investigation is ongoing.
