A 6-year-old Maryland boy was found dead Tuesday morning inside a Times Square hotel after suddenly becoming violently ill while visiting the Big Apple with his family, cops and sources said.

Police found the boy unconscious and unresponsive when they responded to the Hampton Inn on Seventh Avenue near West 41st Street around 9:40 a.m., authorities said.
