A Sacramento County deputy coroner's report concluded that eight week old Olivia Rose Dipinto died on Jan. 1 of "acute methamphetamine intoxication." The manner of death was ruled an accident.
Her mother, Maureen Hoffart, 45, was arrested on suspicion of endangering the life or health of a child and was being held without bail in Sacramento County jail.
That January morning, firefighters found the baby dead after responding to a medical aid call.
Coroner's spokesman said it's apparent that the mother took methamphetamine shortly before breast-feeding her child. "The child ingested a lethal dose of the drug."
The infant's twin sibling was been taken into protective custody. The mother received 90 days in jail and 5 years probation as punishment.
