Methadone Stashed in Medicine Bottle Kills Boy, 6

A 6-year-old Bronx boy has died after ingesting methadone stashed by his mom in a medicine bottle. The boy's father gave him a dose of what he thought was DayQuil to help relieve cold systems. He had no idea his wife had stored her methadone in the bottle, police said. The boy collapsed and was rushed to a local hospital where he later died. Mom Raquel DeLeon has been charged with reckless endangerment, reports the New York Daily News. (More DayQuil stories.)
