Police say babysitter Lori Conley gave infant lethal dose of Benadryl

Ohio police say a babysitter accused of giving an 8-month-old baby a fatal dose of Benadryl has been arrested.

According to the police report, Lori Conley, 43, was charged Friday with murder and child endangering

The baby was pronounced dead at a hospital, and a coroner confirmed the child's cause of death was an overdose. Officials said, she was babysitting eight children at her house.  

Authorities say Conley was baby-sitting eight toddlers and infants at her Reynoldsburg, Ohio, home when she found Haddix Mulkey unresponsive May 13

WKRN reported that no other children were injured that day.

"This is something that God can only fix," the baby's family told media during an emotional press conference.

"He was a happy baby," the baby's family told WBNS. 

Police say the charges were delayed until toxicology tests confirmed the baby received a fatal dose of the over-the-counter allergy drug

"He loved to be held," his mother said. 

"He loved to be cuddled and held," his grandmother said.

Police told WBNS Conley was vague about just how much of the antihistamine she gave the baby but said she did give adult-size dosages.

"She was very vague on exactly how much, but she did give adult-size dosages, the pills that were adult-size dosages," an officer said in an interview with WBNS.
