Infant Boy In 'Very Serious Condition' After Being Found Unresponsive In Bathtub, Police Say
DEVON, Pa. (CBS) -- Police on the Main Line are investigating after a baby was found unresponsive in a home on the 400 block of Conestoga Road in Devon. Authorities say that any time a child is reported and found unresponsive, they must put forth due diligence to rule out certain circumstances.
And that is what police did for hours inside the Chester County home Wednesday afternoon.
"It's a very preliminary investigation to find out exactly what happened to the child before the emergency responders got there," Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said.
It was around 3 p.m. when Easttown Township Police responded to a 911 call directing them to a residence inside of a complex on 411 Conestoga Rd. The call was for an infant boy who was found not breathing and unresponsive in a bathtub.
"Police and EMS responded immediately. The child was unresponsive. When they got there they immediately started life-saving procedures," Hogan said. "The child was revived and was immediately taken to the hospital in very serious condition."
Hogan later arrived to the scene, where he told Eyewitness News that the child's parents were by his side at the hospital.
Investigating units remained on scene for the entirety of the afternoon and evening. Neighbors who gathered on the block expressed compassion and concern for the young family.
At this point, it is unclear who phoned in that 911 call or who was home with the baby at the time.
