LUMBERTON – A mother was charged after she passed out on top of her 13-month-old son, who died from apparent suffocation, authorities said.

Antoinette King, 33, was revived by Narcan but her son, Jerimiah, could not be revived after the incident at their Dove Court home, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said Sunday.

A relative inside the home called for help around 8:30 p.m. Saturday after finding the mother lying on the toddler, the prosecutor's office said.

The mother and son were taken to Virtua Memorial Hospital in Mount Holly, where the boy was pronounced dead.

An autopsy will be conducted by Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood.

Authorities have not yet determined if the mother was overdosing on drugs at the time.

"The investigation is continuing," the prosecutor's office said.

King was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. She was being held Sunday in Atlantic County Jail.
