WHITEHALL, Mich. (WWJ/AP) - Investigators have determined that a couple whose bodies were found along with their dehydrated 6-month-old baby at a motel in western Michigan died of accidental drug overdoses.
State police say autopsy results found that 26-year-old Jessica Bramer of Grand Rapids and 28-year-old Christian Reed of Marne had used fentanyl, other opioids, marijuana and alcohol.
The autopsy findings, combined with surveillance footage, digital evidence and interviews with witnesses, allowed investigators to determine the deaths were accidental.
Bramer posted her status as "in a relationship" with Reed starting in 2016. One of her last posts was from 2016, where he was on her account writing, "Yall f** n***s need to back up. Jessica's taken. You ain't there visiting her like I am."
