An 11-month-old baby boy has died after being burned by steam leaking from a radiator inside a Brooklyn apartment, according to the New York City Police Department.

Officers responding to a 911 call shortly after 6 a.m. on Friday found the boy unconscious in an apartment bedroom, where steam continued to spew from the heating unit, police said.

The child, whose identity has not been released, was taken to Maimonides Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, officials said.

A similar tragedy happened on Dec. 7, 2016 when two sisters died after suffering steam burns from a radiator malfunction in a New York City apartment.

The girls, identified as Scylee Vayoh Ambrose, 1, and Ibanez Ambrose, 2, were taken to a hospital where they were pronounced dead.

In 2017, The New York Times reported that their parents sued the city, the building’s owner and Bushwick Economic Development Corporation, the social services agency that administered housing. The parents then settled with the city for $300,000 and with the agency for $4.5 million, according to the article.
