Three young children who police found unresponsive early Monday on the beach at New York's Coney Island all died by drowning, according to the city's Office of Chief Medical Examiner.
NYPD Chief Kenneth Corey speaks to the press in Brooklyn, New York, Sept. 12, 2022, providing an update on an investigation after officers discovered three young children at the shoreline who were all pronounced dead at a hospital.Three young children who police found unresponsive early Monday on the beach at New York's Coney Island all died by drowning, the city's Office of Chief Medical Examiner said Tuesday.
Detectives are looking into whether postpartum depression played a role in the triple slaying, the official said. Corey said the incident unfolded around 1:40 a.m., when a relative called 911 and said she was concerned that the mother was going to harm the children.Officers went to the mother's apartment in Coney Island, knocked on the door but got no answer, Corey said. While at the address, a man showed up and identified himself as the father of one of the children, who also expressed concern for the well-being of the children and told officers he believed the mother had taken them to the boardwalk.
"Best we can tell at this point, and again it's preliminary, there is no indication of a prior history of abuse and neglect of these children," Corey said. Yegiants said that while it is possible for someone with postpartum depression to harm their children, it is not common. She said postpartum psychosis, however, presents essentially a break with reality and causes delusional thinking that could lead to such violence.
