DCFS investigating death of toddler
CHICAGO — The state Dept. of Children and Family Services is investigating the death of a 19-month-old northwest suburban boy found unresponsive Sunday at his grandmother’s West Side home.
Hamad Moore of Oxford Dr. in Carpentersville was taken from the 900 block of N. Long Ave. in Chicago and pronounced dead at Children’s Memorial Hospital at 6:54 p.m. Sunday, according to a Cook County Medical Examiner’s office spokesman.
Hamad was found unresponsive at his grandmother’s home, the spokesman said.
DCFS spokesman Jimmie Whitelow said Monday morning the agency is investigating allegations of abuse in connection with the death.
He said the agency had also investigated what turned out to be “unfounded allegations of neglect” in December 2007.
An autopsy conducted Monday was inconclusive, pending police investigation and further studies, the medical examiner’s office said.
Police responded to the home about 6:15 p.m. Sunday, News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak said. Police are conducting a death investigation.
