LEWISTON — State police said Tuesday that the death of a baby reported Sunday morning at an apartment building on Main Street does not appear to be suspicious.
Shannon Moss, public information officer for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta completed an autopsy but toxicology reports will not be available for a few weeks.
“Everything at this point is pointing to a baby death that is not suspicious,” Moss said.
Lewiston police responded to the call at 709 Main St., along with the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit, which is routine in child deaths.
Further details, including the baby’s age, were unavailable because the investigation is ongoing.
