9-Year-Old Child's Death At Tucson Apartment 'Suspicious': Police

TUCSON, AZ — A 9-year-old child died early Tuesday at a Tucson apartment complex, police said. Authorities called the death suspicious and ordered an autopsy to determine the child's cause of death.

The child's mother, Sandra Kraykovich, 38, and grandmother, Elizabeth Kraykovich, 64, were both arrested on suspicion of child abuse, but their arrests were not related to the child's death, police said.

Emergency personnel were called for an unresponsive child at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to the apartment complex at 8250 E. Golf Links Road. Despite efforts to revive the 9-year-old, the child was pronounced dead at the scene.

While at the scene, Tucson officers became concerned about the living conditions and welfare of other children in the apartment, police said. Officers arrested the two women and removed the other children from the apartment following an investigation and interviews by Tucson's child abuse unit, according to authorities.
