According to an arrest affidavit obtained by CBS News and other outlets, Sophia drank “meth bong water” from a plastic water bottle that had been left out on a table. After she said “yucky” and spat out some water, the mom and her two cousins allegedly realized it was a bottle they had used as a water pipe when smoking methamphetamine earlier, the affidavit states.

Witnesses told police that Sophia began seeing “monsters and demons” after ingesting the water, but Alvarado allegedly did not take Sophia to the hospital right away. According to the witnesses, Alvarado allegedly did not seek treatment because she did not want to “lose [Sophia] in the system.”

The affidavit, which was also obtained by the The Denver Post, alleges that Alvarado treated Sophia by giving her milk, wrapping her up in a blanket, praying and reading the Bible. She later allegedly took Sophia to a nearby apartment to give her oxygen through a tube.

When Sophia finally stopped breathing, Alvarado and her cousins took her to Grand River Hospital in Rifle, Colorado. She was pronounced dead early the next morning.

According to the affidavit, the Garfield County Coroner said the cause of death was methamphetamine intoxication. A toxicology report found that Sophia had a “very, very high” amount of methamphetamine in her blood.

The affidavit alleges police found baggies filled with white powder, drug residue on a dollar bill, pipes, and bongs during their search of the apartment. Alvarado allegedly told police that she had recently been fired from her job after failing a drug test and that she smoked meth on her way to pick up Sophia.

Sophia’s father, Alec Larson, told CBS he received a call that his daughter was in the hospital, but by the time he arrived, she was already dead.

“Sophia had passed away from cardiac arrest,” Larson told the station. “It just didn’t make any sense to me; she was too healthy to have a heart attack.”
