Infant dies after intoxication, three arrests in Maine-et-Loire
According to lenouveaudetective.com, Kalys, an 11-month-old child, was found lifeless on 10 November at his parents' home in Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges (Sèvremoine). His grandmother, who discovered him, alerted firefighters, who were unable to revive him. The parents were not present at the time of discovery.
The autopsy revealed the presence of opioids, cannabis, cocaine and methadone in the infant's body. Previous traces of violence were also found. A report for child abuse had been filed before the death, according to Ouest-France.
This week, the boy's parents, aged 34 and 37, were taken into custody and suspected of having assaulted and drugged their child. Both were placed under judicial investigation and remanded in custody. The grandmother was also arrested, with investigators suspecting her of having administered substances to the infant, but she was subsequently released.
The parents are suspected of participating in large-scale drug trafficking, according to known information. The inquiry will need to establish how Kalys ingested these products and trace the exact circumstances of his death, which ended his life before his first birthday.
