LONGMONT, Colo.—An autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death of a 9-week-old Longmont child discovered unconscious in its parents’ bed.
Longmont police Cmdr. Tim Lewis says one of the infant’s parents called authorities at about 11:15 p.m. Monday to report the baby was not breathing. Officers and rescue crews responded and attempted to revive the child but were unsuccessful.
The child was pronounced dead at Longmont United Hospital. The baby’s name and gender were not immediately available.
Lewis says detectives consider the baby’s death suspicious, but declined to say whether they suspect homicide. He said the baby showed no obvious signs of trauma.
The parents’ names have not been released.
