New York City police said a 1-year-old boy died, and three other children were hospitalized after apparently “coming into contact with an opioid” at a home-based childcare site in the Bronx on Friday.
Police said the 911 call came in just after 2:40 p.m. on Friday.
Officers also found an unconscious 2-year-old boy and an 8-month-old girl, who were also transported to a hospital; the boy is in critical condition and the girl is stable.
The 1-year-old, identified by police as Nicholas Dominici, was pronounced dead at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.
