Charlotte Chavez charged after 1-year-old daughter's death from fentanyl
A mother has been charged with child abuse resulting in death after fentanyl was found in her baby's system. Charlotte Chavez called 911 last December to report that her 1-year-old daughter Betty was not breathing.
Paramedics responded to the home and transported Betty to Denver Health where she died.
A toxicology report revealed that the infant girl died as a result of the toxic effects of fentanyl. Also present in her system were naloxone and acetaminophen.
