No charges for parents of toddler found breathing in hospital morgue hours after near-drowning
Parents of an 18-month-old toddler who nearly drowned during a Super Bowl party and was later found alive in a hospital morgue after being declared dead will not face criminal charges. Prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to prove the parents' actions constituted a gross deviation from reasonable care, despite admitting to marijuana use and lapses in supervision. The doctor who declared the child dead may face civil action.
