BREAKING: Three young children who died after being found unconscious on Coney Island beach died by drowning, death ruled a homicide, NYC Medical Examiner's Office says
Cops found the mother, identified as Erin Merdy, on Riegelmann Boardwalk near Brighton 6th Street about 90 minutes later. Police said she was soaking wet and barefoot and appeared to be in a disturbed state when she was found. The woman had some family with her but not the three children, police said, adding she wasn't communicative with cops.
At that point the search turned even more desperate, with aviation and harbor units called in and reinforcements added to scour the shoreline. The children were found unconscious at the water's edge by 35th Street around 4:45 a.m., about three hours after the initial 911 call. Life-saving efforts began but the children died at Coney Island Hospital.No charges have been filed at this point. Erin Merdy was hospitalized for evaluation as of late Monday, authorities said.
A security supervisor at the mom's building said the family had moved in less than a year ago. NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said the mother had not been reported to authorities previously for abusing or neglecting her children. Cops ask witnesses to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.This article tagged under:
