BANGOR — Authorities are awaiting toxicology reports to determine how a child died Friday, according to Bangor police.

“An autopsy was performed over the weekend and is in the toxicology stage, which could take several weeks,” Sgt. Paul Edwards said in a press release.

The age and identity of the child were not released.

The death occurred at a residence on Allen Street.

Police were there Friday gathering evidence, according to a previously published report.

State law requires that investigations and autopsies be performed in cases involving the death of children under the age of 3.
