DOVER, N.H. (WHDH) — Authorities are investigating the death of an infant who was found unresponsive Thursday at a Dover, New Hampshire day care center.
Emergency crews responding to Honey Hill Child Care Center just before 2 p.m. found the baby unconscious and not breathing, Dover police said.
The child, whose name has not been released, was taken to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
People in the area recalled it being an emotional scene as paramedics rushed the baby to the hospital.
“I saw a lot of mothers outside crying,” one local resident said. “The street was peppered with cars. It’s sad…especially as a parent with children. There’s nothing worse than finding out a parent’s going to go home with no kid tonight.”
The circumstances surrounding the death remain under investigation. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death.
