 Prosecutors in Westchester County said on Wednesday that they would review the 2008 death of a baby born to the woman accused of throwing her newborn girl from the seventh-floor window of a Bronx apartment this week. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Officials said the woman, Jennifer Berry, 33, of Yonkers, had a boy who died in March 2008 when he was just over 2 weeks old. 
 
 The medical examiner in Westchester County determined at the time that it was a natural death and said the cause was sudden infant death syndrome. But after the recent accusation, prosecutors decided to re-examine the case, said Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the Westchester County district attorney’s office. 
 
 Mr. Chalfen declined to release the child’s name or disclose any other information about the review. A spokeswoman for the Westchester County Department of Social Services said she was unable to discuss the case or Ms. Berry’s history with the agency. 
 
 Detective Lt. Patrick McCormack, a spokesman for the Yonkers Police Department, said in an email that officials there were “aware of the N.Y.C. incident, and our detectives are working with N.Y.P.D. at this time.” He declined to comment further.

 Ms. Berry was arrested and charged on Tuesday with second-degree murder in the death of the newborn girl, who was found on Monday afternoon outside the apartment building at 130 West 183rd Street in the Bronx. 
 
 Ms. Berry was employed by the New York City Administration for Children’s Services from July 2007 to January 2008, working in the child protective services branch, agency officials said. During that time, she spent three months training in a classroom setting before continuing in a capacity that officials described as a closely supervised situation with limited interaction with families. 
 
 She left the agency weeks before she gave birth. 
 
 With the most recent pregnancy, police officials said, Ms. Berry had told some of her relatives and friends — including, it appears, her boyfriend — that she had miscarried. 
 
 The authorities said that the girl Ms. Berry delivered on Monday, however, was alive and breathing. The infant, who was declared dead at the scene, died of the blunt force trauma injuries received in the impact of the fall. 
 
 The apartment where the baby was delivered was the home of Ms. Berry’s boyfriend, who was identified by law enforcement officials as Giovanni Johnson. Mr. Johnson did not respond to messages for comment on Wednesday. 
 
 Ms. Berry was jailed after being arraigned late Tuesday in Bronx Criminal Court, with her next court appearance scheduled for Monday. Joel Peister, the lawyer who represented Ms. Berry during the hearing, declined to comment on Wednesday. 
 
 At Ms. Berry’s home in Yonkers, which public records indicate she shared with relatives, no one answered the door on Tuesday or Wednesday. Relatives did not respond to multiple phone messages for comment. Neighbors said the family had lived in the modest house with tan shingles for several years, but they did not interact with them much.

 Zoe Baez, 36, who moved to the area 10 years ago from the Bronx, said people kept to themselves in the area. “We don’t really mess with each other,” she said. 
 
 Ms. Baez, who had heard about the newborn’s death, did not know Ms. Berry lived nearby. She was especially surprised by the revelation by officials that a second child of Ms. Berry’s had died as an infant. 
 
 “It makes no sense,” she said. “I can’t believe that. It’s kind of crazy.” 
 
 At the apartment building in the Bronx, a memorial to the girl continued to grow on Wednesday. There were cardboard boxes with candles, small toys, a stuffed animal and flowers. Someone had written on one of the boxes: “Rest in peace little angel.” 
 
 Neighbors who know Mr. Johnson said he had been staying away from the building. “He’s devastated,” said Krissy Mercado, 33, who stopped by the lobby of the building to light a candle. 
 
 Tiffany Rodriguez, who lives nearby and is a mother herself, said she was upset by the accusation. “You got a miracle right now,” she said of the newborn. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
– A 33-year-old woman could face criminal charges after police say she threw her newborn baby—complete with placenta and umbilical cord—out the window of her New York City apartment Monday, the New York Daily News reports. She reportedly told police the baby had died before she threw it, according to the newspaper. The wife of the building's superintendent found the body while cleaning a concrete courtyard behind the building, reports the New York Times. She called 911, and the baby was pronounced dead at the scene, the AP reports. "I've never seen something so unhuman like that," the son of the woman who found the baby tells WABC. "I don't know what kind of mother would be to do that." The baby's mother, Jennifer Berry, allegedly told police she gave birth in the shower Monday, the Daily News reports. Police say Berry originally denied the baby was hers. According to the Times, police are continuing to investigate the incident, and at least part of the baby's fall was captured on surveillance video. Berry hasn't been arrested, and charges against her are pending an autopsy and cause of death, the Daily News reports. "Oh, it just broke my heart," a neighbor tells WABC. "Just broke my heart."
