N. Providence newborn death a criminal investigation

NORTH PROVIDENCE -- The police are pursuing a criminal investigation in connection with the death of a baby girl found yesterday in a Lori Drive home.

The newborn was discovered at about 9:30 a.m. Preliminary results from the medical examiner's office indicate the death was not accidental, according to North Providence Police Deputy Chief Paul Marino.

Marino said authorities executed a search warrant at the family's 6 Lori Drive home yesterday. Marino would not release any details regarding the condition of the child or how the police had been alerted.

Local authorities are working with the state attorney general's office on the case, Marino said.
