‘The infant had not been unwell or had any pre-existing health concerns,’ Smith and Talbert told police, according to the complaint, which WBOY procured.
After conducting an investigation, police reported that the roach-infested house had “very poor” and unhygienic living conditions.
It was reported that neither the bathroom nor the kitchen had flowing water. Additionally, Smith claimed that police discovered a “smoking apparatus,” which they used to get high on marijuana.
Smith and Talbert were not charged with anything until the results of the post-mortem examination showed the startling cause of the child’s death, despite the allegedly dangerous conditions in their home.
