Wallingford police probe deaths of woman, infant

WALLINGFORD, Conn. (WTNH) -- A mother and her 13-month-old baby were found dead in a home. Police are calling the deaths untimely.

The house on High Street in Wallingford is cordoned off as police execute a search warrant painstakingly going through the car and the home late into the night. It all began hours earlier.

"At approximately one o'clock this afternoon, we got a call for an unresponsive female and an unresponsive child at this address," Lt. Marc Mikulski said.

News 8's told the fiance came home to find 27-year-old Kathryn McCormic and their 13-month-old son both dead.

"It's an isolated incident, we're working with the chief state's attorney and the medical examiner's office to figure out what's going on but it's an isolated incident. We're calling it an untimely death at the moment," Lt. Mikulski said.

News 8's told this is Kathryn's mother's home. She lives in the upstairs portion while Kathryn, her fiance and the baby had moved downstairs.

Police say they found what is suspected to be illegal narcotics and narcotic paraphernalia close to the bodies and the mother was on top of her child. The neighbor across the street, Bob Foggitt, was home the entire morning.

"I didn't see anything out of the ordinary or I would've called the police," Foggitt said.

But there was no indication that anything strange was going on. For folks here it is tragic no matter how it happened.

"Depressed, I don't know what to think. It was terrible, I wish I could've been there to do something about it," Foggitt said.
