Overview
- Police say an infant was found unresponsive inside an apartment on the 1100 block of North American Street and was pronounced dead by a medic on scene.
- Investigators reported the child may have had puncture wounds, and the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause of death.
- No arrests have been announced, and authorities have not released the infant’s identity.
- Accounts differ on the response time, with one report citing about 12:52 p.m. and another about 1 a.m. at the same address.
- The case remains in its early phase, when detectives secure the scene and await autopsy findings, which often limits what police can share publicly.
