The 17-year-old mum made her baby boy a bottle of formula before going into the bathroom and finding a pill bottle containing what she thought was cocaine but turned out to be deadly fentanyl
A nine-month-old baby boy has died after his teenage mum allegedly mixed his formula with fentanyl because she was tired and wanted a nap, according to police.
The infant was found unresponsive with no pulse at a home in Callahan, Florida, on June 26. Deputies attempted to revive the child using CPR, however, he later died at a hospital in Jacksonville, according to Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper.
The boy’s 17-year-old mum initially told investigators she had no idea what had happened, but her story changed over the course of subsequent interviews in the following weeks. Eventually, an autopsy revealed that the child had enough fentanyl in his system to kill 10 people.
On July 10, the medical examiner ruled the baby’s death a fentanyl overdose. Just two milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal, depending on a person’s body size, tolerance and past usage, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
