An autopsy in June showed the infant's manner of death was a homicide, according to the coroner.

The Scranton Police Special Victims Unit conducted a six-month investigation from March to September 11, when the unit obtained an arrest warrant for the mother, Shayln Small, 32, of Scranton. The investigation showed that co-sleeping and alcohol consumption led to the infant's death.

She was charged with involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child. She was transported to the Lackawanna County Processing Center, where she is awaiting arraign
