Man Accused In Toddler's Death To Appear In Court Monday
(CBS) -- A court hearing is set for Monday for a 36-year-old Chicago man accused in the death of a 2-year-old boy last summer, reports WBBM's Steve Miller.
Two-year-old Mickel Brown died last summer after drinking methadone, which is used to treat drug addiction.
Cook County prosecutors say Michael had been left in the care of 36-year-old Reginal Brown of the 1400 block of South Kedvale and that the night before Mickel Brown died, Reginal Brown's girlfriend, a drug user, slept over and left a cup of methadone out and Mickel drank it.
The State's Attorney says Reginal Brown saw the two-year-old drinking the methadone but did nothing. He is now being held on $350,000 bond.
