FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 Authorities are investigating the death of an infant at a home in Fort Lauderdale, police said Friday.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to a medical call around 11:45 a.m. at a residence near the 1400 block of Northwest 15th Terrace, according to Fort Lauderdale police.<\/p>\n
Aerial footage from Sky 10 showed a heavy police presence at the scene. Investigators said it is still unclear whether foul play was involved in the child\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Broward County Animal Care confirmed it responded to the same location and took custody of a dog from the home.<\/p>\n
A neighbor, who asked not to be identified, said he was shocked by the large law enforcement response.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was crazy. I came outside to throw the trash out, and I seen about 30 police cars. Caught me off guard,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The neighbor also claimed that the infant may have been born that same morning, though police have not confirmed any details regarding the child\u2019s age, name, or cause of death.<\/p>\n
He added that two people live in the home, but are rarely seen outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir windows [are] closed, they don\u2019t ever come outside. Probably see them once a month for 10 seconds, coming home or leaving,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As of Friday evening, Fort Lauderdale police had not released further information. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
