Police are investigating the sudden death of a 2-year-old girl who they say was found unresponsive at an apartment in Worcester.
Police found the girl Monday morning after receiving a report that a child was not breathing. Police say the girl was pronounced dead shortly after she was taken to a hospital.
Police say they did not see signs of trauma on the girl and that her exact cause of death will be determined by an autopsy.
Eighteen-year-old Jonathan Santiago says the girl, Gigi, appeared lifeless when her 24-year-old mother picked her up. He says he called 911 and tried to perform CPR but was unable to open the baby’s mouth.
The state Department of Children and Families says they are investigating and working with law enforcement.
