Homicide detectives are now investigating the death of a 2-month-old girl who was taken to the hospital on Sunday under what law enforcement officials described as suspicious circumstances.
The child, who was taken from a home on the 18000 block of Grace Lane in Canyon Country shortly after 3 a.m., died Wednesday morning at 10:07 a.m.
The case has been handed over to detectives at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau, according to law enforcement officials.
“We can confirm that there was a baby death and Homicide will be investigating,” said Deputy Juanita Navarro-Suarez of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau. “They’ll be responding to the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital.”
Lauren Song, a spokeswoman at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, also confirmed the baby’s death.
According to Navarro-Suarez, the original call on Sunday morning said the baby was not breathing.
“We were dispatched at 3 (a.m.), we were on scene at 3:07 a.m., regarding a call for cardiac arrest,” Franklin Lopez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, said on Tuesday. “The patient was transported at 3:22 a.m.”
