An 18-month-old Indiana toddler tragically died days after ingesting a pill used to treat opioid addiction that she found in a thrift store backpack, according to family and officials.
Azana Trentman became unresponsive and was rushed to the hospital after falling ill on Sept. 4, KFVS12 reported Friday , citing the Dearborn County Sheriff’s Office.
The child died on Sept. 8, the agency added.
Parents Austen Trentman and Shayna Wood took little Azana to a Dillsboro thrift store, where she began playing with a backpack while they browsed, according to a Sept. 7 Facebook post from her grandmother, Tawnya Wood .
“At some point, Azana found something in the backpack and ingested it. Austen took immediate action to clear her mouth and induced vomiting since he wasn’t sure what it was,” Wood wrote.
