HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A mother in Huntington has been charged following her infant child’s death as a result of fentanyl intoxication.
On Wednesday, Candace Ferrell, 38, was charged with child neglect resulting in death.
Police were called in August to Ferrell’s Huntington residence when her 10-month-old girl was unresponsive. Officers found around three dozen pills inside a pack ‘n’ play where the baby was.
The baby girl was taken to a local hospital where she later died.
