Hotel staff advised police that they observed two impaired women wandering around the hotel with a 4-month-old child in tow.
Both were taken into police custody for questioning.
The baby was unresponsive and taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. There were no obvious signs of trauma, and so an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
Police said the women will likely face child endangerment charges at a minimum, but that could change pending the results of the investigation.
Police identified the child as Dominic Greene from Wilmington, Delaware, and the 24-year-old and 26-year-old women in custody are also from Wilmington. Neither is the child’s mother: One was his step-sister, and the other is that woman’s fiancee. source
An investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with possible information on the incident should contact police at 911.
