NEW YORK - A 3-month-old infant fell off a bed into a bucket of her teenage
mother's vomit and died, said police, who charged the woman with negligent
homicide on Thursday.

Savarin Dejesus, 18, had left the child with a baby sitter at an East Harlem
group home where she lived to go out partying Sept. 15, police said.

When she returned, Dejesus vomited in the bucket next to the bed where she
fell asleep with her daughter, Niah Ford, in her arms, police said.

The infant later tumbled into the bucket and apparently drowned, police
said. Dejesus didn't discover what had happened to her baby until the next
afternoon.

The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police
said.

Dejesus also was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. She was in
police custody late Thursday.

A woman who answered the telephone at Dejesus' group home, the Fox House,
declined to comment on the baby's death.
