Parents Arrested After Child Ingests Fatal Dose Of Drugs, Police Say

Baltimore Police say two Jonestown parents allowed their 2-year-old daughter to ingest an ultimately fatal dose of methadone.

Alvin Thompson and Sinead McNair, both 25 and of the unit block of South Exeter Street, were arrested Tuesday, two weeks after their daughter Korri Thompson died at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Police first responded to the hospital on the morning of Aug. 13, after Korri was brought in unconscious and unresponsive. Doctors revived her and she was transferred to intensive care, where she died on Aug. 24. Police later learned she had ingested the opioid, and arrest warrants were obtained for the parents. Both have been charged with manslaughter. Thompson is being held without bail, and McNair is being held on $250,000 bail.
