Newborn dies of methamphetamine toxicity

ENID, Okla. — Police have now opened a homicide investigation.

The newborn boy’s body was found in a trash bin April 9 wrapped in a blanket and plastic bag inside a wooden box in Enid.

An autopsy report on the cause of death was released Tuesday from the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office.

The infant is only being identified as Baby Boy Green.

The report does not list an age for the boy, but notes that the umbilical cord was still attached.

A woman described by Enid police as a person of interest in the case was later arrested on unrelated drug, child neglect and obstruction charges and was ordered to undergo a competency evaluation.
