CHICAGO (CBS) — The body of an infant girl was found dead inside an apartment on the West Side, fire officials said Wednesday.
The 9-month-old baby girl was found dead in a car seat in the 3700 block of West 13th Street in the Lawndale neighborhood shortly after 3:30 p.m.
Two other children, a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old, inside the apartment were transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital for observation, police said.
The fire department says it was a neighbor who called authorities after a 6-year-old in the home came to the neighbor’s apartment for help.
The neighbor found the 6-year-old, a 2-year-old – and the baby home alone, authorities say.
Area Central Police are conducting a death investigation.
