The bodies of Tamequa Robinson, 30, of Edison, and her baby boy were pulled from their car in Piscataway's New Market Pond around 5:35 Tuesday morning, according to Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone. The boy was identified as Noah by family on social media.

A passerby reportedly called police after spotting a vehicle floating in the pond at Stelton Road and Lakeview Avenue.

The mom and her baby were pronounced dead at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, the prosecutor said alongside Piscataway Police Chief Thomas Mosier.

The cause of death remains undetermined pending the completion of autopsies by the Middlesex County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office.

The investigation is active and continuing.

Meanwhile, condolences poured in for Robinson and her baby.
