The death of a 2-year-old found slumped over in her stroller on the West Side in July after ingesting drugs her mother had taken has been determined to be suspicious, officials said this week.

Pier’ Re Addiana Welborne died of combined drug toxicity and her death was ruled a homicide, the Cook County medical examiner’s office ruled earlier this week.

Initially when she died on July 15, an autopsy was inconclusive and pending further studies.

Pier’ Re Addiana’s mom, 44, flagged down officers and asked them if they had any Narcan because she had gotten sick on her toddler who shortly after that became unresponsive about 4 p.m. on July 15 in the 2600 block of West Roosevelt Road, according to a police report.

Narcan, also known as naloxone, is a drug that reverses an opioid overdose.
