Drugs, not nanny, to blame for baby’s death: prosecutorsSUSPICIOUS: An autopsy found traces of ketamine in the 11-month-old girl’s body, and prosecutors later found ketamine in the hair of her fatherStaff writer, with CNAFollowing an investigation into the death of an 11-month-old girl at the home of a nanny in 2021, the Ciaotou District Prosecutors’ Office has decided not to file charges against the nanny and her husband, local media reported yesterday. Evidence indicated the girl’s death was not caused by the nanny, surnamed Tsai (蔡), who did everything she could to help when the girl fell at her home, local media quoted prosecutors as saying. Video footage showed the girl standing with her hand holding the edge of a table before falling, prosecutors said. Prosecutors later found ketamine in the hair of the girl’s father, while tests on Tsai and her husband produced no such results. As a result, the girl’s father, who has a record of involvement with drug dealers, is being investigated for negligent homicide and facilitating the consumption of drugs by a minor, local media reported.
