The Sarasota, Florida parents of an 8-month-old child who died on May 31 were arrested late last week after an investigation learned the baby tested positive for lethal amounts of fentanyl.
Deputies with the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence near Bee Ridge Road at about 5:15 p.m., for reports that an 8-month-old infant had died.
An investigation at the scene revealed the baby was reportedly found in an unresponsive state before being taken to Doctors Hospital by the 8-month-old’s father, Nicholas Alexander, and a friend.
The child’s mother, Carissa Alexander, was caring for the infant when the baby was found face-down on couch cushions inside the home.
