A 16-year-old girl found unconscious in a Cranston home was taken to Hasbro Children's Hospital Tuesday, according to the Providence Journal.

Police are now investigating the case and will not say if foul play is suspected.

After rescue crews were dispatched to the home, they called for police, according to a statement.

There is no word on the girl's current condition.

If it were foul play, someone would have been arrested. This was a minor, in someone else's home, someone the girl had just met. No durgs in the home, if so, someone would have been arrested. When she wakes up, Im sure there will be more information on what took place. If it were swine, I would think the public would have been updated. A swab test would have been done right away..I would think. Maybe there is an underlying condition here that no one knows about. I hope she wakes up soon.

To me it looks like foul play , the rescue crews would not have called for the police for a swine flu matter, as a retired firefighter, we only called for police for traffic control, or if it was a disturbance,or if there was evidence of foul play
