Details On Mississippi Mother’s Alleged Suicide Pact With Daughter
On July 6, police responded to a report of a youngster overdosing at the Ocean Springs Studio 6 Motel in Mississippi. According to PEOPLE, cops discovered the 10-year-old child unresponsive with a green rucksack containing empty medication bottles and unidentifiable tablets nearby. The ambulance took Brittney Hensley and her daughter to Ocean Springs Hospital, where physicians intubated them.
According to FoxNews10, authorities discovered a “suicide pact” between Hensley and her daughter, in which they both agreed to take drugs. Deputy Chief Steven Dye told PEOPLE that Hensley claimed to have taken a precise dosage at a specified time. However, hospital blood tests did not corroborate her statement. According to the physician’s findings, if her narrative was accurate, she would not have survived. According to Dye, authorities believe Hensley chose not to complete her half of the suicide pact. According to WXLOX, her daughter is currently in the custody of Mississippi CPS.
According to police, Hensley went to Alabama, where she has family and formerly lived, as the case against her evolved. Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers declared her wanted on Facebook on October 14, citing allegations of felony child abuse involving minor poisoning.
