A Bridgeport woman has been arrested in connection with the 2021 death of her 4-week-old granddaughter after investigators found the girl ingested drugs.

Eleanor Herman, 61, was charged with second-degree manslaughter and risk of injury to a child.

“The baby girl was transported to an area hospital by her adult uncle before police arrived,” police explained in a news release. “Medical staff at the hospital pronounced the baby deceased. The baby was only 4 weeks old when she passed away.”

The medical examiner determined the manner of death was homicide by way of ingestion of drugs. They said the cause of death was acute intoxication from the combined effects of fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl.

Police stated that Herman, the child’s maternal grandmother, “was the immediate and sole caregiver for the deceased infant child for more than three hours leading up to her death.”

Police said Herman has a history of heroin abuse and lived with her infant granddaughter at the time of her death.

I'd hate to see what a shit show mom is if this is who had custody.

Probably hoping they’ll go lower. Probably right. 2nd degree manslaughter in Arizona she might get as little as a year. So sad.

Did she actually feed it to the baby? For...napping? How in the hell does this happen?
