A 6-year-old girl was found dead, submerged in a filled-up bathtub inside her Brooklyn home Friday — and the child’s mom is being questioned by police, sources said.
The girl was discovered unconscious and unresponsive around 1:30 p.m. inside a bathtub within the home on Elton Street near Ridgewood Avenue in Highland Park, cops and sources said.
The bath was filled with water, and the girl had blood clots in her eyes, indicating some kind of struggle, the sources said.
She may have been left inside the tub for 20 minutes, according to the sources.
The girl was taken to Brookdale University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead, police said.
Her mother was being questioned by investigators Friday evening, sources said.
Her father and paternal grandfather were also at the home at the time, the sources said.
No one has been charged in connection to the youngster’s death, and the circumstances are under investigation by the city medical examiner’s office.
