The cause of death for a toddler who died in early January in Cleburne, Texas, was finally announced — the child overdosed on cocaine. WTF? And why did it take so long for that to be discovered? Maybe we’ve been watching too much CSI.

Cleburne police are trying to determine how a baby ingested cocaine that later killed him.

Sgt. Amy Knoll said on Tuesday the Jan. 5 death of 14-month-old J.C. Luna of Cleburne has been ruled a drug overdose. No charges have been filed.

Police say the infant was hospitalized Oct. 11 when he started having trouble breathing, about 20 minutes after his mother left him with a baby sitter.

Cook was arrested when she offered to perform a sex act on an undercover officer for money, Kilcullen said.

While Cook’s children were in the car with her, she performed sex acts on at least two men for money, smoked crack cocaine in the car and even snorted cocaine off the infant’s stomach while she was breastfeeding, Kilcullen said.
