Seven-year-old Mazi Simmons died after being found unresponsive in a car. His mother, accused of murder, was arrested last Monday.

Investigators found the boy in the back seat of his mother's vehicle , his head wedged between the rolled-up window and the interior of the car, suffocating him. The child was "sitting next to his two younger siblings," according to the arrest warrant.

"While she was passed out in the driver's seat, Mazi got stuck in the rear window," the document states.

"The 7-year-old's head was hanging out of the window."

A witness told police that the mother had stopped at his house after 10 p.m. the previous evening. She reportedly left the children in the car because she didn't want them inside, then drove off shortly after.

The witness said that the next morning, he left his home and saw Kandice Grace's vehicle in the parking lot. He added that "the 7-year-old's head was hanging out the window," according to the warrant, and that "he began banging on the car to wake Ms. Grace."

When investigators arrived, Kandice Grace was at a neighbor's house with her youngest child. "Investigators attempted to speak with Ms. Grace, but she continued to pass out while sitting and holding her child," the warrant states.

A search warrant was obtained to conduct blood and urine tests, which tested positive for opiates and THC, according to the warrant. Kandice Grace is currently being held at the Fulton County Jail.

    Quand on appelle son enfant "Nazi" , on lui prépare un avenir des plus trouble. mais l'article est très incomplet car il ne précise pas si le pauvre gosse a été décapité, si sa tête a éclaté comme une pastèque ou bien comme une citrouille.
