A Bronx baby died tragically when her older sister rolled on top of her as the two slept in the same bed, authorities said.

Little Jarilyse de la Cruz was crushed when her 11-year-old sister unknowingly rolled on top of the 2-month-old as they slept together in their family’s apartment on Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield , cops said.

The tragic scene was discovered at around 12:30 a.m. when the girl’s father returned home to find his daughter had suffocated.

She was rushed to Montefiore Medical Center, but she could not be saved, authorities said.

Police said they do not suspect foul play at this time.
