A baby's death in Norwood, Massachusetts, is under investigation, authorities said Monday.

The infant was taken to a hospital from a family residence Sunday evening but didn't survive, an incident that is now being investigated by state and local police, according to the Norfolk District Attorney's Office.

The Department of Children and Families is collaborating with law enforcement in the investigation, according to a representative.

Prosecutors said Tuesday that an autopsy of the child "was not determinative," leaving the cause and manner of their death undetermined. More tests and study were being done.

It wasn't immediately clear what investigators may be looking into.
