EDMONTON — An investigation is underway into what Edmonton police are calling the suspicious death of a child.

Two women were also seen being escorted from the block, but no one is in custody.

Police have not confirmed the age or gender of the child.

Acting police Insp. Erik Johnson says it’s early in the investigation and the details of what happened are not clear.

An autopsy is expected.
