By WEEK Producer

A baby boy from East Peoria has died and investigators aren't sure why.

The Peoria County coroner says further testing is needed to determine the cause of little Andrew Hoover's death.

His mother says she found him unresponsive late Sunday afternoon. They say Andrew had been sleeping on a couch with another sibling.

His mother says there were signs of illness before Sunday, but a preliminary autopsy did not find evidence of a congenital abnormality.

How old was the sibling that was sleeping with the baby? DCFS needs to leave no stone unturned, an investigation is needed.
