A 7-year-old girl tragically passed away after swallowing the top of a baby bottle, which obstructed her small intestines, as revealed by an autopsy report from the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner’s office. The mother of the girl, along with three others, has been charged related to the case.
The autopsy report released on Nov. 17 indicates that Violet Mitchell died from failure to thrive caused by a foreign body obstructing her proximal small intestine.
The medical examiner’s office stated that it remains uncertain whether the obstruction discovered in Violet Mitchell’s intestines was due to an accident or was deliberate.
Following Violet’s passing, Mitchell’s mother Lisa, aged 31, along with her boyfriend Anthony Yonko, 37, were taken into custody. They are now facing charges of second-degree murder related to Violet’s death. David Yonko, 25, the brother of Yonko, and Tiffany, 25, the sister of Mitchell, have also been charged with second-degree murder, as reported by the News Tribune.
