BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) - The parents of a 10-month-old boy who died of a heroin overdose were charged with homicide Monday, nearly three months after the baby's death.
Samuel Rivera and Erika Santiago were charged in the Jan. 13 death of Yandiel Rivera-Santiago. Toxicology tests determined that the baby had lethal levels of heroin in his system, authorities said.
While investigating the death, police said they found evidence of a drug distribution operation — large amounts of heroin, drug paraphernalia, more than $7,700 and a stolen handgun.
