Drowning deaths of 3 kids on Coney Island beach ruled homicides: ME
The drowning deaths of three young children on a Coney Island beach were ruled homicides, the city Medical Examiner said Tuesday, as their mother remained hospitalized after allegedly confessing to the crimes.
Surveillance video captured the mom of three walking from her apartment with her children in tow just after midnight. Merdy was holding baby Oliver, while Zachary and Lillyana walked beside her and the four entered the boardwalk area of the beach around 12:50 a.m. together. Erin Merdy, who was suffering from mental illness, allegedly told relatives she drowned her three young children in the waters off Coney Island Monday.In the early morning hours on Monday, relatives of Merdy called 911 after growing concerned about her irrational behavior and the safety of the three children over alarming texts they received from her.
Soon after, cops located Merdy, her boyfriend, and her sister near Brighton 6th Street and found the mom barefoot, soaking wet and in a bathrobe, appearing disoriented and unable to answer questions.
