As the city Medical Examiner conducts an autopsy on the 3-year-old boy who died shortly after being abandoned at a Brooklyn hospital, loved ones close are pleading for the boy’s mother to turn herself in to police.
“Idk wtf is going through your head right now but this not you,” wrote Tiqua Blockwood, who identified herself in the Facebook post as the boy’s godmother. “Aint no f—ing wayyyyyy my godson didnt deserve that I just got this feeling its more to this.”
The toddler was dropped off outside Downstate Medical Center on Clarkson Ave. near New York Ave. in East Flatbush just before 11:25 a.m. Sunday.
The boy’s mother and her boyfriend took off in a four-door sedan with Pennsylvania license plates after dumping the boy outside the hospital, according to police sources.
Medical staff pronounced the boy dead shortly after he was found. He had extensive bruising on his body, which could be linked to lividity, a postmortem condition in which blood pools in the lower parts of the body, causing a purplish discoloration of the skin, police sources said.
The boy was in rigor mortis when he arrived at the hospital, indicating he had been dead for at least a couple of hours before he was left outside on the pavement, the sources added.
“If you’re seeing this baby, turn yourself in,” said Sabrina Johnson, who also identified herself as Kyng’s godmother, to PIX11. “It’s easier for you to turn yourself in and explain yourself, versus them finding you. It’s a sad situation that the life of a 3-year-old is gone. And we’re going to miss him.”
An autopsy was being conducted Monday to determine exactly how he died, according to a spokesperson from the Medical Examiner’s office.
