BSO Launches Death Investigation After 2-Month Old Baby Dies Inside West Park Home
WEST PARK (CBSMiami) -- Broward Sheriff's Office detectives are investigating the death of a two-month old baby who stopped breathing where other children were also being cared for.
According to BSO, someone called 911 Thursday afternoon about a baby boy who was not breathing at a home in West Park.
The baby is now identified as Ashton Petion of Hallandale Beach.
BSO deputies and firefighter/paramedics arrived at the home in the 4600 block of Southwest 22nd Street where they found the baby unresponsive.
The boy was rushed to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital where he died.
He did not live at the home, according to BSO.
Homicide detectives said the child was being cared for along with other infants and toddlers who were in the home at the time.
While the investigation continued late into Thursday evening, the other children who were being looked after were able to go home with their parents.
Though the investigation is ongoing, at this time, detectives do not suspect foul play.
An autopsy is being done to determine an exact cause of death.
