36-year-old Coralan Peters is facing charges following the Dec. 23 death of her 20-month-old son.

According to the Monroe County prosecutor's office, the second-degree child abuse involved physical harm due to exposure to "an unsafe level of heat."

A police report obtained by Toledo CBS affiliate WTOL provided some additional information about the events preceding the boy's death.

Police at the scene reportedly noted that the inside of Peters' home was very warm, with the heat set to 90 degrees. The bedroom where the child was found was especially hot due to multiple vents blowing hot air into the room.

In addition to the thermostat, investigators reportedly said that Peters had positioned a portable space heater in the room and had it turned to high and pointed directly at the boy's crib. Investigators used the same make and model space heater to conduct a test, turning it to the highest setting and facing it at a crib. The inside of the crib reportedly got as hot as the mid-90s.

Authorities further noted that the home itself was in deplorable condition, reportedly finding garbage, rotting food, and dirty diapers throughout the inside.

A rough timeline showed that Enzo was put to bed at about 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 22, 2025. When someone checked on the toddler at about 2 a.m., he reportedly woke up briefly before going back to sleep. Someone in the house checked on him again at about 9:45 a.m. and found him unresponsive, WTOL reported.

A subsequent autopsy conducted by the Lucas County Coroner's Office reportedly found that Enzo had internal and external signs indicating he suffered from a "heat-related injury" and dehydration. There was no evidence the boy suffered any blunt force trauma. A determination on the manner and cause of death remains pending as investigators await laboratory results.

So why all of the heat? For that time of year, temps were above average in Toledo. On 12/22/2001 the low was 34 degrees and the high was 48 degrees. I don't always wear a coat in that kind of weather. Was she trying to get rid of the bubs?
