NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A toddler fell to his death from a window of New York City apartment building early Sunday morning.
Authorities said 2-year-old Nayvem Santos fell to a second-floor landing from the seventh floor of a Gerard Avenue building in the Bronx around 4:20 a.m. Sunday.
The child was discovered unconscious and unresponsive when officers arrived, police said. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Lincoln Hospital.
