ROSWELL, GA — A metro Atlanta grandmother is facing charges in connection with the drowning death of her 2-year-old grandson last month.
Roswell police say Emelisa Paz-Santos has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and second-degree cruelty to children.
Investigators say 2-year-old Axel Delgado was found unresponsive in a swimming pool at The Lake House at Martin’s Landing Apartments during a family gathering.
Police and fire crews began life-saving measures before the child was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
According to investigators, Santos failed to adequately protect the child before the drowning.
This is an active investigation.
