A baby has been found dead in a home.
Police were called to the property near Heron Drive, Minster, on the Isle of Sheppey due to welfare concerns.
As the child’s cause of death “could not be ascertained”, a postmortem examination was completed yesterday.
Detectives are now treating the baby’s death as non-suspicious and an investigation with partner agencies is underway into the full circumstances.
Paramedics had first raised the alarm at 11.51am on Saturday, August 16.
Officers have remained outside the property where the death took place since.
The tragedy is said to have taken place just paces away from the horrific death of Eli Cox in April 2016.
Mum-of-nine Katherine Cox and her boyfriend Danny Shepherd were jailed for a combined 21-and-a-half years after they were found guilty of causing the death of her baby boy from a catastrophic brain injury.
One resident of nearby Lapwing Close, who did not want to be identified, told KentOnline that the news was “shocking”.
She said: “It is just heartbreaking.
“I was around when baby Eli was killed, and hearing about that was awful as well.
“The Old Bill turned up on that Saturday and haven’t left since.”
