When officers arrived, they found the child unresponsive.
“Life saving measures were provided and the child transported to a local hospital,” police explained in a media release. “Unfortunately, the child was later pronounced deceased.”

“Police everywhere, every entrance and exit,” said Richard Boer, who was walking his dogs through the area Monday morning. “It’s a nice, quiet, peaceful park. I wouldn’t even think this park would be danger.”
The cause of the two-year-old’s death has not been released.
“Pray for those people,” urged Verissimo Santos, who was also in Soper Park Monday morning.
