GREENVILLE, S.C. -- (WLOS) -- Authorities say a South Carolina woman who had drugs in her system has been charged in connection with the co-sleeping death of her 7-week-old son.
The Greenville News reported Tuesday that 21-year-old Kendall Reid Bishop was being held on charges of unlawful conduct toward a child and false information to police.
Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelley says the infant died of accidental suffocation as a result of co-sleeping.
