A 3-month-old old girl was found dead inside a Queens migrant shelter over the weekend but there were no immediate signs of any criminality, cops said.
The baby – identified by police Monday as Yuleisy Astudillo – was discovered unconscious and unresponsive around 2:50 p.m. Sunday inside the Queens County Inn & Suites on Crescent Street near 41st Avenue in Dutch Kills, police said.
She was taken to Mount Sinai Queens Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
There were no visible signs of trauma on the baby’s body, authorities said.
The city’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will officially determine the cause of death.
The hotel is being used as an emergency shelter, a spokesperson for the city’s Department of Social Services told Gothamist.
