Police are awaiting post-mortem examination results on Alfie Lamb
Three people have been charged over the "suspicious" death of a three-year-old boy in south London.
Alfie Lamb was found to be "unresponsive" and in cardiac arrest when police and paramedics arrived at Adams Way in Croydon, on 1 February.
He was taken to a central London hospital but died three days later.
Scotland Yard said two women and a man who were all arrested on 28 February have now been charged over Alfie's death.
A 23-year-old woman has been charged with ill-treatment of a child.
She, along with an 18-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man, also faces a charge of perverting the course of justice.
Police said they were waiting for the final report from a post-mortem examination which took place on 7 February, but were treating the boy's death as "suspicious".
