Court documents say the boy’s mother left her son with the 29-year-old Page, her boyfriend, for a few hours and returned to find the baby “lying face-down in his bed in a pool of vomit.” Sylvester died at a hospital two days later.
Officials say there was evidence of drugs in Sylvester’s system.
Page’s lawyers said he was not responsible for the boy’s death.
