A girl, three, died from a heart attack after ingesting cocaine brought into her home by her dad, a judge has ruled.
The child, named in court only as K, was admitted to hospital with suspected sepsis or meningitis, but collapsed and died on April 6 last year.
A post-mortem then revealed she had cocaine in her blood. Her parents blamed each other for bringing drugs into the property, with the dad claiming her mum had left cocaine in a bedroom drawer.
Their other four children were removed from the household. High Court judge Mr Justice Williams has now ruled that K’s dad ‘carelessly’ brought the cocaine into the house, ‘in connection with his drug-related activities’. (Metro)
