True. He did die. However, prior to his death he stated he wanted to be a part of her life. I don’t know what part he actually played after he got out of jail. He may have had some sort of supervised visitation. I don’t think we’ll ever know exactly where the baby is and who she is with. “Relative” could mean anyone on either side of her family.He died of a drug overdose and I'm not aware of any attempt on his part to establish parental rights in parentage court in order to obtain custody from DCFS.
