Officials are investigating whether drugs played a role in the death of the boy, who was treated with overdose-reversing medication.

The parents of a 4-year-old boy were being questioned following his death, the NYPD said Wednesday. The child was found unresponsive at around 8 a.m. on Tuesday at a Women In Need homeless shelter in Brooklyn and was rushed to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Allegedly, both of the boy's parents were found using fentanyl, and drug paraphernalia was discovered inside the family shelter.
