Two Babies Born in a Tyler Apartment, One Dies

TYLER – Two babies were hospitalized after being born in a Tyler apartment. One died and the other is listed in stable condition. Shortly before 4:30 Thursday afternoon, a woman brought one of the babies into the lobby of the Faulkner Park Police Station thinking it was a Safe Drop Zone. EMS took the baby to the hospital. While at the police station, the woman received a call that the mother of the baby had just delivered another baby at the Cumberland Place Apartments. When officers found the mother, the baby was unresponsive. Both were taken to the hospital where the baby was pronounced dead. Tyler police spokesman Don Martin says the name of the 33 year old woman who gave birth to the babies is not being released at this time.
