The charges were filed against 32-year-old Lindsey Rae Reho, of North Franklin, in the death of her 1-year-old daughter.
Police have charged a Washington County mother with criminal homicide following the death of her 1-year-old daughter as a result of fentanyl toxicity.The incident took place the morning of June 10 when paramedics arrived at Reho’s apartment for a report of an unresponsive childThe baby, who was identified by the initials K.B., was transported to Washington Hospital where she died.
The “mother intimated to the paramedics that they might want to use Narcan, which obviously would signal there’s some type of opiate may have been involved,” Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh said to. “Later, the mom was interviewed with regard to those types of statements or anything of that nature. And she admitted to being a user and using fentanyl.”
In July, a toxicology report from the Washington County Coroner found that the baby had fentanyl and norfentanyl in her system and the cause of death was fentanyl toxicity,“After [the] toxicology report came back, there was a very high number of fentanyl in this child’s system. That’s why we waited to file until now.
When she returned, she was in contact with her baby while cooking breakfast and washing dishes. After the baby was placed in her pack-and-play a short time later, she was found by her father unresponsive,Walsh said to WTAE that the amount of fentanyl that was in the child’s system could not have been caused by trace contact.
