Police responded to the MainStay Suites on Raymond Avenue in Altamonte Springs on Friday, July 15, after receiving a report of an unresponsive child, police said in a news release on Monday. The three-year-old was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

According to the police report, the mom works remotely from the hotel's bedroom and the teen is in charge of her sister during the day. The mom told the teen that her sister was being too loud while she was on a call and told her to quiet her down.

The teen told police that she covered her sister with a pillow and walked away. Ten minutes later, she found her sister unresponsive and brought her into the bedroom. The mom then called 911, the report said.
