by KYW's Pat Loeb

Philadelphia police are investigating the death of a 10-year-old girl in the city’s Feltonville section as a possible case of abuse.

Philadelphia authorities say the child was found unconscious in her home Wednesday morning, in the 4700 block of C Street, and taken to St. Christopher's Hospital. She was declared dead about 11 a.m.

Hospital officials contacted authorities because the girl had numerous injuries.

Homicide detectives have been questioning the girl's family, including her father, step-mother and an older step-brother.

An autopsy has been scheduled for Thursday.
