This baby died as a result of complications from burns he received in a Methamphetamine fire. His parents were making Meth in their garage apartment. When the fire broke out, they ran out and then realized neither had the baby. They grabbed a ladder out of the garage and put it under the window of his room to rescue him. He had burns over 30% of his body. After his death, his parents left the area before the baby's funeral and burial. They were later arrested buying more chemicals to make Meth.
