An East Harlem mother who police said left her 3-month-old daughter to die in a bucket of vomit has been charged in the child's death, police said.
The city medical examiner ruled yesterday that the baby had died of asphyxiation and drowning, police said.
The mother, Savarin DeJesus, 18, was arrested yesterday after she told police that she left the child alone and found her drowned when she returned. DeJesus was being held last night on charges of criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child.
"A three-month-old just doesn't walk into a bucket," a police official said.

I may have had the bucket of vomit, but at least I know better than to put a kid in it. Thanks for bringing down the blog, man.
I think I received a referral for this mom.
