5-year-old girl dies after being found unresponsive in Springdale
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — An investigation is underway after the death of a 5-year-old girl in Springdale.
Allegheny County police said Tuesday that officials were notified of an unresponsive 5-year-old girl around 9 a.m. on Duquesne Court. Police said the child was taken to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office identified the girl as Diem McMunn-Gereshenski and will determine the cause and manner of death. The family is cooperating with investigators.
Neighbors told KDKA-TV they saw detectives going in and out of the home where the girl lived for several hours. Around 6 p.m., a neighbor told KDKA-TV the girl's mother told her there may have been a health issue.
"We just asked what was going on, and she told me, 'it was my little girl that passed,'" Amber Glaser said. "And that she just got out of the hospital, and she said that there may have been a blood clot and they were going to investigate."
The family of four moved in about six months ago, a neighbor said.
