Allegheny County police investigating death of 2-year-old found unresponsive
MUNHALL (KDKA) -- Allegheny County police are investigating after a 2-year-old child in Munhall was rushed to the hospital overnight.
The child was reported unresponsive just before 1:30 a.m. at a home on Margaret Street on Thursday. First responders took the child to a local hospital in critical condition, police said.
After being rushed to the hospital, the child died.
A cause of death has not yet been released.
Neighbors told KDKA-TV that they saw the family outside playing hours before lights and sirens packed the street.
"I saw a guy coming out with a brown bag. Then, later on, I saw a gray tote being brought out. And that was it," Tiffany Gasch said.
Toys were left outside the apartment, leaving many wondering what happened.
"It's sad, it's devastating," Gasch said.
KDKA-TV was told the couple involved normally keeps to themselves and were enjoying the evening before taking the kids in for the night. Those who live nearby also claim the neighborhood is known for illegal activity, warning that drugs are not uncommon.
