Following the harrowing death of a 3-year-old girl earlier this month, the toddler’s mother has been charged with murder.
Jeanine Glass, of Florham Park, had been hospitalized since the night of July 6, after being found unresponsive and in wet clothes inside a home on Woods End Road.
On Tuesday, the 43-year-old Glass was charged with first-degree murder and second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Florham Park police and EMS were called at 10:41 p.m. about the semi-conscious woman, who had been found on the first floor of the residence.
It was only as officers went with a family member upstairs to gather information related to Glass’ condition that they made the awful discovery of the three-year-old in a hallway bathroom.
The still-dressed toddler was unconscious and face down in several inches of water in the tub, police said.
First responders tried desperately to resuscitate the child, but she was pronounced dead at a hospital.
An autopsy by the Morris County Medical Examiner’s Office remained pending on Tuesday.
Immediately after being discharged from medical treatment, Glass was arrested and remains in custody.
