A baby boy from Staten Island was riddled with fentanyl and cocaine when he died more than two months ago, police and sources said Wednesday — as his death was ruled a homicide.

Sakani Kamagate was just 16 months old when he was discovered unconscious on a bed inside his home on Hamilton Avenue near St. Marks Place in St. George just after 4 a.m. Feb. 20, authorities said.

His father called 911 and EMS brought the child to Richmond University Medical Center, where he died.

There were no obvious signs of trauma at the time. 

The NYPD announced Wednesday that Kamagate’s death has been ruled a homicide.

In an obituary posted online, the tragic boy’s family remembered him as a “super smart, adorable, loving, sweet baby.”

“Although Sakani did not have much time on this earth; he touched many hearts with his bright, vibrant spirit,” the heartbreaking notice said. “Sakani will always be loved and remembered for bringing joy to the lives of everyone who knew him.”
