QUEENS, N.Y. (PIX11) — A 3-month-old girl died after she was found not breathing at the Queens County Inn and Suites on Crescent Street in Long Island City on Sunday, according to authorities.

Police said they received a call from a family member just before 3 p.m. The infant was rushed to Mount Sinai Queens, where she was pronounced dead, according to authorities.
