An infant’s wailing prompted the discovery of a dead woman inside a New York City apartment, where authorities also found two children, AM New York reports.
Around 2:37 p.m. Saturday, police officers from the 102nd Precinct and emergency medical crews were dispatched to a residence in Queens after a neighbor called 911.
The neighbor reported hearing the cries of a baby from an apartment, according to the newspaper.
When police officers and medical technicians arrived, they found a 25-year-old female who appeared to be unresponsive and unconscious. The woman was later pronounced dead.
Crews also found two small children in the apartment: a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old. The children were described as alert and were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center to be observed, according to AM New York.
Authorities are investigating the woman’s death as a possible suicide, police sources told the news organization.
Photos published by AM New York show a female police officer carrying a small child at the scene. The child was wearing a blue hoodie and had a pacifier in their mouth.
