Newberry, South Carolina - After their child passed away with cocaine in the system, 18-year-old Brady Wearn and 17-year-old Mary Bedenbaugh are being charged with homicide.

On May 2, paramedics responded to a call about an unresponsive four-months-old who was not breathing, the Newberry County Sheriff's Office reported on Wednesday.

The child was rushed to Newberry Hospital for treatment, but was pronounced dead shortly after.

"Due to this death being a child 17-years-old or younger, the Newberry County Coroner's Office, Newberry County Sheriff's Office, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Child Fatality Unit and South Carolina Department of Social Services were notified to investigate," officers continued.

According to forensic pathologist Dr. Kelly Rose, the infant died a "sudden unexpected infant death associated with recent cocaine ingestion."

Brady Wearn and Mary Bedenbaugh were both charged with homicide by child abuse and unlawful neglect of a child by a legal custodian. They are currently being held at the Newberry County Detention Center.
