The mother of a baby who died after being pulled from a bath insists she is not to blame and says his death was just a 'tragic accident'.
Makavelii Leoni, 13-months, died in hospital on September 24 after he was found not breathing at his home in Cairns.
His mother Lina Marie Daley, who has a history of illicit drug use, may now be investigated for possible child neglect and homicide.
Ms Daley, 20, claimed on Saturday that a friend was bathing her son before his death, not herself, 'so how is it my fault?'
In social media posts seen by Daily Mail Australia the young woman said Makavelii's death was a 'tragic unforeseen accident'.
'No parent should have to bare (sic) this pain, love you forever my son wish I could bring you back,' she said on September 25.
'Gone way to soon, rest In peace my beautiful baby boy. Your brother and I will always love you, forever our hearts.'
Ms Daley was unable to explain the events leading up to her son's death, according to Child Safety documents.
Makavelii had multiple bruises and bite marks on his body and a graze to his left temple, the
Cairns Post reported.
He also had a possible burn mark with 3mm of skin missing from his forehead.
Ms Daley claimed her son's the injuries were a result of ordinary misadventures encountered by small children.
