A 3-year old boy drowned, apparently while left unattended in the bathtub of his Mott Haven home, police said.
Jisiah Pickney was found by his mother inside their East 138th Street apartment at around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
While the boy’s frantic mother ran down the street to get help at the 40th Precinct station house, her cousin tried to resuscitate the toddler and called 911.
When EMS arrived, Pickney was rushed to Lincoln Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A spokeswoman for the Medical Examiner’s Office said an official cause-of-death determination is pending.
An Administration for Children’s Services spokeswoman said the agency investigated the child’s family five years ago, but would not detail the nature or outcome of the case.
