The toddler was ultimately released back to his mother after being treated with Narcan.Įast Baton Rouge Coroner Beau Clark called it a "significant failure" after a third overdose was reported to child services when a toxicology report "showed fentanyl in the boy's system.This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. On April 12, healthcare workers noted the child was suffering from respiratory failure and seizure-like symptoms, though his brain activity was not consistent with a seizure and "no seizure medications were needed," according to the report. The WBRZ report states that deputies also noted at least two other instances where the boy overdosed and "both incidents were reported to the Department of Children and Family Services prior to the child's death."
Deputies made note that they found the corner of a clear plastic bag "containing a white powdery residue" under the bed close to the cereal bowl that the young boy was eating from. Unfortunately, Narcan was unable to bring back the little boy this time.Īfter investigators spent a month looking into the toddler's death, it was determined that he died from a fentanyl overdose. After first responders tried medicine that was unsuccessful, the mother told paramedics that Narcan had brought her son back in the past. When paramedics arrived they found a friend of Ard attempting to resuscitate the toddler on the pavement outside. Arrest records said she woke up later that morning to find the child back in bed "cold to the touch, unresponsive, with his fingertips, mouth, and tongue blue in color." The mother said she made a bowl of cereal, placed it on the floor next to her bed for the 2-year-old to eat and went back to sleep. Ard had just gotten out of jail after being locked up in May following a drug bust in her home.Īccording to Ard, she was lying in bed with her son the next morning when the little boy told her he was hungry. Arrest records identified the toddler as Mitchell Robinson III and according to his mother, the 2-year-old boy was behaving normally when she picked him up from her mother on June 25.
