Detectives with Delaware State Police Major Crimes Unit say they are currently investigating a death of a two-month-old boy that happened Thursday morning at a home east of Bridgeville.

Around 7:40 AM, troopers were reportedly dispatched to Camp Road in  Bridgeville after a 911 call was received from the home.

According to the report, the 911 call stated that a two month old infant was unresponsive.
