A 1-month-old baby girl was found unresponsive in her mother's Brooklyn apartment on Saturday night. The infant, who had not yet celebrated her first birthday, was discovered by police responding to a wellness check call made by the baby's grandmother. When officers arrived at the scene, they found the child unconscious and lifeless.
According to sources close to the investigation, the 911 call for the wellness check was placed by the baby's mother. However, it appears that the mother did not realize her infant had passed away. The child's body was discovered tucked inside a bag in the mother's apartment.
EMS personnel were quickly dispatched to the scene and pronounced the child dead upon arrival. An autopsy is now underway at the Office of the Medical Examiner to determine the cause and manner of death. Despite an ongoing investigation, no arrests have been made yet.
As authorities continue to investigate this tragic incident, questions are being raised about how a young mother could have overlooked her infant's lifeless body. The Brooklyn police department has not released any additional information on their investigation or potential motives behind the child's death.

what's going on here? A 1-month-old baby found dead in her own apartment, and mom doesn't even realize it... that's just crazy 
. And now they're investigating how she didn't notice? I mean, shouldn't she've seen her kid lying there? That bag thing is messed up too... not sure what to think about this whole situation 
. Guess we'll have to wait and see what the autopsy says, but it's definitely some weird stuff 
.
that's just heartbreaking - can't believe a mom would miss something like this for so long... i mean, 1 month old is hardly going to start living its own life, but still... i guess we should be trying not to jump to conclusions here and give the parents some space while the investigation unfolds 
. And can we talk about how crazy busy new moms can get? Some days, all a mom can do is just take care of herself and forget what's going on with the baby 
. So maybe this isn't entirely on the mom - maybe it's just one of those super tough days that happened to everyone at some point 
. Let's hope justice gets served soon, but let's not jump to conclusions just yet 
.
I don't buy that the mom didn't realize her kid was dead, she must've known something fishy went down 
. All this talk about how sad it is that a mom would miss her own baby and not know she was gone makes me think there's more to this story than people are letting on 
. I mean, the grandma called 911 for a wellness check? That's just convenient timing if you ask me 
. It's not like they're just casually hanging out in the apartment, you know? And now there are all these questions about how did this even happen 
i'm definitely keeping an eye on this one 
i just heard about that baby girl in brooklyn and my heart is literally shattered. like what were they thinking? how could she not notice her own kid was dead? 
911 call for a wellness check but no idea the baby's dead? That's just crazy talk.EMS showed up and it's like, game over. You'd think the mom would've seen somethin', even if it was just her own fear or anxiety or somethin'... 
. I'm all for a wellness check, but come on! You'd think that would be instinctual. Anyway, my condolences go out to the family, and I hope they get some answers soon 
. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it - a mom calls 911 thinking her baby is just sleeping and ends up finding her lifeless in a bag 
I keep thinking about what must have gone through her mom's mind when she realized her baby was stillborn - did she panic? Did she cry?
