NEW YORK — Three young children died after they were found alone on Coney Island Beach early Monday — and their mother is suspected of drowning them, police sources said.
The kids — 7-year-old Zachary, 4-year-old Liliana and Oliver, just 3 months — were discovered unconscious on the beach near the shoreline at West 35th Street in Brooklyn.
Their 30-year-old mom, Erin Merdy, called a cousin saying she drowned them, according to a police source.
