Three Children in Brooklyn Were Drowned at Coney Island Beach
Three siblings were drowned by their mother at Coney Island Beach.
The children: 7-year-old Zachary, Liliana, a 4-year-old and Oliver, a 3 month-old baby were found at 4:40 am on the shoreline at West 35th Street. (Photo of Zachary Merdy here)
All three were brought to Coney Island and pronounced dead. This took me so long to write because this is horrific. (Citizen report)
Many people would have taken those children, temporarily or permanently. The children’s mother was in good standing with her family – they would have helped her.
Erin Merdy, the children’s 30-year-old mother was brought NYU Langone in Sunset Park. (See here)
The children’s grandmother believes their mother is suffering from postpartum depression. (See here) Several people spoke the press and described Erin as a good mother.
When Erin realizes what happened, she is going to be devastated.
