Police: Infant died of natural causes

Pending a Mahoning County Coroner’s office report, police say the death of a 5-day-old infant on Sunday was due to natural causes. According to police reports, officers were sent to a Judson Avenue home on the city’s South Side in response to a report of a infant not breathing.

Upon arriving at the home, officers were met by the child’s mother who stated in the report that her friend, a Warren resident, was in the back bedroom performing CPR on the infant. Emergency medical technicians from an ambulance company arrived, but also could not revive the child.
