NEWBURGH – Newburgh City Police are continuing to investigate the cause of death of a seven-year-old boy who was brought to Montefiore St. Luke’s Hospital Wednesday morning.
Police said Thursday that they will not speculate on the cause of death because it would be premature to do so. That will be determined following a post-mortem by the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office.
District Attorney David Hoovler told Mid-Hudson News that the death is being investigated as “neglect and a potential crime.”
Mayor Torrance Harvey is emotionally torn up over the child’s death.
Police are still trying to figure out what happened in the moments before a man was run over and killed by a loader removing snow in the Hudson Valley.
