Mark Musella, the Bergen County Prosecutor, verified the sad demise of a little Fort Lee child who was discovered unconscious at a Maple Street home on Saturday, May 25. When emergency personnel got there, a little after 3:30 p.m., they found the girl critically injured. She was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, but soon after, it was announced that she had passed away despite their best attempts.
Details
Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit are working with the Fort Lee Police Department to look into the circumstances surrounding the little girl’s death, according to prosecutor Musella. He did not, however, elaborate or describe the specifics of the occurrence. The community is grieving and in a state of confusion due to the absence of more information.
Another adolescent girl in Ramsey died suddenly in a different circumstance. Respondents stated that the girl was almost fifteen years old. Prosecutor Musella has not addressed this matter, though, and it is still unknown why his investigators did not go to that area. No more information about the circumstances was given by first responders on the spot.
There were no updates or fresh details on either fatality as of late Saturday into mid-Sunday afternoon. The neighborhood is left to grieve and make assumptions as it waits for more information from the authorities.
There is a pall over Bergen County due to these young people’s tragic deaths. The loss and the unsolved concerns surrounding these occurrences are weighing heavily on the residents. The investigations are still underway, and it is anticipated that additional information will be made public shortly to provide the bereaved families and the concerned public some clarity and closure.
Summary
It is probable that Prosecutor Musella and his group will persist in their hard work of obtaining the truth about these sad incidents. As a show of support and empathy in the wake of such tragic deaths, the towns of Ramsey and Fort Lee are banding together to assist the impacted families.
