Detroit is grappling with a harrowing incident after a three-month-old infant was found deceased in a home on the city's east side. CBS News Detroit reported that authorities responded to a call regarding an unresponsive infant Sunday morning at a residence on the 13000 block of Corbett near Dickerson, where the baby was discovered alive but later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Child Protective Services has visited the home, leaving a notice indicating their involvement, which adds another layer to the tragedy, the full scope of which remains unclear as authorities are yet to ascertain the cause of the infant's demise, according to police statements.
Further details are scarce, with Audacy confirming the death but disclosing that the Detroit Police Department is withholding additional information pending the investigation. Early reports included details about other children in the home and a mother who was asleep then.
The Detroit Police's Child Abuse Unit is reportedly handling the case, with interviews being conducted with those inside the home at the time. While no arrests have been made, the investigation into the exact circumstances of the infant's death continues.
