REPORT: Baby died from lethal dose of morphine in mother's breast milk
The mother, 37-year-old Stephanie Greene, was charged Friday with homicide by child abuse.
Investigators say Greene's 6-week-old daughter, Alexis, was found dead in her parents' bed in their Campobello home in November 2010.
Autopsy results showed high levels of morphine in the child's blood.
Authorities say the painkiller got into Greene's breast milk after she took pills and used patches containing morphine constantly since the baby's birth.
