A 1-year-old boy who had been left alone with his 6-year-old sibling at a New York home died over the weekend when he ended up trapped between a bed and the wall, police said Monday.
Spring Valley Police responding to a Kennedy Drive apartment after getting a call about a trapped baby around 8:40 p.m. Saturday found the child stuck and unresponsive. Local firefighters were dispatched to try to help free him.
The baby was eventually pulled out and life-saving measures began immediately, investigators said, but he later died of his injuries at a hospital.
Spring Valley police did not share any details on his injuries, a potential cause of death nor how he may have ended up in that deadly position. They didn't release his name, either.
