5 month old infant starves to death days after parents die of Heroin overdose

A 5-month-old baby girl may have been left alone for at least four days, starving and dehydrated, before dying, after her parents 19-year-old mother, Chelsea Cardaro and her father, Jason Chambers, 27, fatally overdosed on heroin.
The small body of the infant Summer Chambers was discovered Thursday inside a bassinet in the upstairs bedroom of a Johnstown, Pennsylvania, home, after a family friend who hadn't heard from the couple for over a week paid them a visit.

The body of the infant's mum was found in a neighboring bathroom while that of her father's was found lifeless on the first floor.
Local pathologists estimated Summer’s parents may have been a week before they were found.

According to Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan, authorities believe the mother and father died almost simultaneously.
Callihan said:

“It’s so sad and really illustrates just how bad the heroin epidemic is, not only here but across the country”. “Had they not died within minutes of each other, we believe one would have called 911 for help for the other.”
