Fentanyl in Bottle Kills Toddler, and Father Is Charged
The New York Times
The death of 22-month-old Charles Rosa-Velloso was just one of several opioid-related fatalities of young children this year.
One night in June, according to court papers, 22-month-old Charles Rosa-Velloso’s father prepared a bottle of formula and gave it to him in the apartment where they were living at a homeless shelter on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
The next morning, Charles was found face down in bed and covered in vomit. He was soon pronounced dead. An analysis of the bottle’s contents by the medical examiner gave the reason: The formula was contaminated with fentanyl, according to a criminal complaint filed on Wednesday. The boy’s body contained enough of the drug to kill an adult.
