A 2-year-old girl fell from the fifth floor of a building in the Bronx and later died from her injuries, police and law enforcement sources said.
The child fell just before 11 p.m. Tuesday from a building near the corner of East 138th Street and St. Ann's Avenue in Mott Haven, according to police. Officers who arrived at the scene found the toddler unconscious and unresponsive, with injuries indicating a fall from a high spot.
The young girl, who has not yet been identified, was rushed to Harlem Hospital in critical condition. She was later pronounced dead.
It appeared that the girl had fallen from a fifth floor window, according to police sources. It is believed she may have climbed through the gap from a divider between a window and an air conditioner.
No criminality was suspected to have played a role. An investigation is ongoing.
