Mother of baby left in hot car charged with murder
Samantha Donohoe, 27, was arrested Friday on four counts related to the death of her 1-month-old son - felonious assault, felony murder, endangering children and involuntary manslaughter.
If convicted, she faces life in prison, according to Muskingum County Prosecutor Mike Haddox.
At 6:25 p.m., on Sept. 4, authorities responded to a 911 call at 80 Eagleview Drive Apt. F. Upon arrival, deputies found an unresponsive baby and CPR had been started. Deputies continued CPR until EMS arrived.
The baby could not be resuscitated and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation revealed that the child had been left in the car but Haddox could not say for how long.
"It was 90 degrees that day," Haddox said.
In 2017, Donohoe lost a 1-month-old daughter to asphyxiation. Through the investigation, it was determined that Donohoe had fallen asleep on the couch with the infant. When she woke up, the infant was deceased.
"We looked at that case last year and it appeared to be an accident," Haddox said.
