COVINGTON, KY – Megin Gray, 26, woke up Tuesday around 11 a.m. to find her nine month old daughter next to a baseboard heater and badly burned. Gray rushed her daughter to the hospital, but the infant had already died.
Police say Gray had taken Xanax, Percocet with alcohol before going to sleep around 11 p.m. Monday. Gray lived on John Street in Covington, KY with the infant, her three other children, another couple and their child.
Police were called to the St. Elizabeth Covington Emergency Room around 11:30 p.m. Officials say the infant suffered from severe burns from head to toe on the left side of her body. Gray was arrested Tuesday night and charged with second degree criminal abuse. An autopsy is scheduled and Gray's charges could be upgraded, depending on the results.
Gray's preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 26th. She is being held on a $25,000 cash bond in the Kenton County Jail.
