Brooklyn Baby's Death Under Investigation

Heartbreaking Story of an Abused Infant

The city's Administration for Child Services is looking into the death of an 11-month-old boy who passed away in Cypress Hills on Monday night. Police responded to a call of an infant having difficulty breathing at around 8:30 pm, but when they arrived, the baby was already being moved to Brookdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The child — whose name was Major Gonzalez, according to NY1 — had a bruise on his forehead. The station reports that the parents are being questioned, and further testing is required before investigators will be able to determine a cause of death. The Post reports that the parents have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
