Authorities are investigating the death of Knil Jean Noel, a 9-year-old Brooklyn boy who was discovered dead yesterday afternoon, police said. According to police, the boy’s father found his son unconscious around 4:45 p.m. inside a third-floor apartment on Brooklyn Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant. However, police said a 911 caller reported hearing the father scream that his son was dead and that the child’s body was cold. According to police, the boy was supposedly in his mother’s care prior to his death, although they said she was not home last night. Last night, police did not associate her with potential foul play, although they indicated they were looking for her.
