Baby found dead in Brooklyn apartment

A 19-month-old baby boy was found dead in a Brooklyn apartment Sunday, and the police are questioning the child’s mother, cops said.

The tot, Justin Stephens, was found inside the family home on Ocean Avenue near Farragut Road in Flatbush at about 8 p.m. after police responded to a report of an emotionally disturbed person, cops said.

The unidentified mother may have been trying to kill herself, cops said. The baby was found unconscious and unresponsive and was rushed to Community Hospital where he was declared dead, cops said.

While the mother was taken in for questioning, she has not been charged, cops said.

Investigators are still waiting for the city’s medical examiner to determine the cause of death.
