MANCHESTER, NH – The parents of an 18-month-old daughter, who died from an untreated urinary tract infection three years ago, are each facing an additional count of negligent homicide.
Mikayla Cochran, 23, of 62 High Rock Road, and Christian Cummings, 23, of 364 Colby Road, were indicted in September 2020 on the same offenses.
However, a grand jury seated in Hillsborough County Superior Court Northern District handed up the additional indictments last week. Those were made public on Wednesday.
According to the indictments, both are accused of negligently causing the death of “K.C.,” by neglecting her care resulting in her death from urosepsis, dehydration and/or an electrolyte imbalance.
The toddler died on Valentine’s Day in 2017. According to Weare police, the child was lifeless on the living room floor when they arrived early in the morning at the 364 Colby Road address.
Her parents told police she had been vomiting for about two days but had stopped a day earlier. They were going to take her to the hospital but didn’t when she stopped throwing up because they believed she had a 24-hour bug.
