A shocking update has emerged regarding the tragic case of a 1-month-old girl found dead with dog bites on her face in New York City on Tuesday. The city’s chief medical officer revealed that these injuries did not cause the infant’s death.

Initially, it was believed that the family’s pit bull–German shepherd mix was to blame for the baby’s death. However, the chief medical officer has discarded this theory, leaving the actual cause of death uncertain.

The medical examiner informed Fox News Digital, “The cause and manner of death are still under review and will need further tests, but we’ve confirmed that this is not a fatal dog mauling.”

The child was pronounced dead by responding EMS workers.

Police said the case is still under investigation, and no arrests have been made.

Winfield’s mother and stepfather were not identified by police.  

The city’s Animal Care Centers of NYC was called to take the puppy and another dog out of the apartment.

The organization provided photos of the puppy being handled by a worker and inside a cage. 

The infant’s grandmother told the Daily News she had previously offered to take the newborn in while the mom, who was living in a shelter at the time, secured better housing.

“I learned that she was pregnant maybe a couple days before she gave birth,” the grandmother told the outlet. “After she gave birth, she loved the baby. I asked her if she had any problems and if she wanted to give me the baby. She said no, she’d take care of her. She would manage.”

The grandmother said she had not yet gotten to meet her new granddaughter when she learned of her death Tuesday.

“How could they have a dog with a baby?” she asked. “The dog shouldn’t be in the house.”
