Two girls and a boy died on Monday after being found unconscious earlier in the day on Brooklyn’s Coney Island beach, where New York City detectives took the children’s mother in for questioning, police said.
Officers found a 4-year-old girl, a 7-year-old boy and a 3-month-old girl near the water’s edge on the beach, known for its boardwalk and Ferris wheel.
At about 1:30 am (local time), police responded to a call to a Brooklyn apartment from a concerned family member who said a relative could have hurt their three young children, said Chief of Police Kenneth Corey.
In the building, police found one of the children’s parents, who expressed similar concerns, Corey said during a Coney Island news conference.
“He said he believed the woman and children were on the boardwalk here,” Corey said.
Police officers who searched the area found the children’s 30-year-old mother, barefoot and soaking wet. She was accompanied by other family members, but not the children, Corey said.
At around 4:45 am (local time), officers found the children unconscious on the beach and rushed them to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead. The mother was then taken to a police station where she was questioned by detectives, Corey said.
