$700k bail issued for mom in daughter’s death
A Chicago mother is being held on $700,000 bail after she was charged last weekend in the death of her infant daughter. She allegedly starved and dehydrated the baby, and just overall neglected her, not even bothering to change the child’s diaper.
Chicean Crosby, 25, of the 7200 block of South Winchester Avenue wept at the hearing before Circuit Judge Raymond Myles at the Cook County Criminal Courts Building.
Crosby’s daughter, also named Chicean, was found dead Oct. 13 by paramedics responding to a call that the child was unresponsive. After the child’s death was ruled a homicide by the Cook County medical examiner’s office on April 10, Crosby was arrested and charged on Saturday.
Though police said in October that the death did not appear to be the result of criminal activity, no cause of death was given by the medical examiner’s office at the time pending further investigation.
Side note: Why did the autopsy take so long? Have we been watching too much CSI?
