Day Care Operator Accused of Infant’s Death

WACO, Texas (AP) _ A Central Texas day care operator has been arrested in the death of a baby who died of an overdose from an over-the-counter drug meant to keep the girl asleep.

Waco police on Thursday announced 49-year-old Marian Bergman Fraser has been charged with injury to a child causing death. She was booked into the McLennan County jail.

Police say 4-month-old Clara Margurite Felton of Waco died March 4th due to a toxic level of antihistamine in her system. Police believe the girl was given Benadryl to keep her asleep during naptime.

Investigators say the baby was transported to a hospital and declared dead after being found unresponsive in her crib at the Spoiled Rotten day care center.

A number listed for the day care center was not working Thursday.
