A Texas man was found guilty of manslaughter after he admitted to repeatedly giving his 2-month-old daughter Benadryl to make her sleep. The final dose killed her.

Adam Canales, 33, was arrested along with his wife, Sarah Canales, 25, in January 2022, months after their 2-month-old daughter died of "mixed drug toxicity," according to an autopsy report. As Law&Crime previously reported, Adam Canales admitted to police that he gave Benadryl to his infant daughter even though "he knows you aren't supposed to give Benadryl to infants and that it makes you go to sleep."

During the trial, Lubbock County District Attorney Sunshine Stanek stated that Adam Canales wanted his daughter to go to sleep so he could have "quality time" with his wife.
