Sentenced: Brittney Coppodonna's 2YO Died From Fentanyl Overdose

[Sugar Cookie]

A West Virginia woman was arrested Thursday in connection with the youngest overdose death on record in Boyd County.

Boyd County Coroner Mark Hammond said the 2-year-old child is the youngest to die as a result of fentanyl ingestion in Boyd County. In his career, he said he's only worked one other case younger — an 18-month-old from Ironton.

Brittney Coppodonna, 33, of Ona, was taken into custody by Kentucky State Police on charges of first-degree manslaughter, simple possession of cocaine and first-degree wanton endangerment.

On Feb. 14, a 2-year-old was found unresponsive on Greentree Court, according to Kentucky State police. The child was taken to King's Daughters Medical Center where the child was shortly thereafter pronounced dead.

Kentucky State Police said an autopsy revealed the child died as a result of fentanyl ingestion.

They really need to have enhanced sentences for people who expose their children to drugs.
