Utah police are investigating the case of a 1-year-old girl who died from an apparent heroin overdose.
Paramedics report they found Penny Cormani unresponsive and blue in the lips when they responded to a 911 call on Dec. 2 at a Provo home.
Mom, Cassandra Richards, told police she put Penny down for a nap with a bottle of milk around 11am on the day of the incident. An hour later, she checked on her little girl and found her unresponsive, reported KSTU-TV.
The mom said she attempted CPR on the infant before calling 911.
Autopsy reports say Penny was found with a lethal amount of heroin in her system, and police allegedly uncovered drug paraphernalia in the house. Among the items found were burnt foil and straws with burnt ends, two items typically used in connection with heroin.
According to KSL.com, the home did not belong to Penny’s parents, but to two other individuals named David and Sina Belgard. The couple had reportedly allowed Penny and her parents to stay at the home on Dec. 1.
The Belgards, as well as Penny’s parents, “all have drug histories,” reportedKSL.com. Penny’s parents, however, have both denied any illegal drug use.
