Moreover, the people who called 911 told them that the boy appeared to be concerned. When they’ve asked him about what was wrong, the 8-year-old boy told them that he had unable to wake up his mother.
The authorities arrived a few minutes later and asked the boy to point out his home. Inside they’ve found the Iowa mother, later identified as 35-year-old Morgan Brown-Edmundson, passed out on the coach. Two small children were discovered inside the house.
Parizek said that the woman had consumed narcotics before passing out. More than that, the Iowa mother was apparently quite irritated by her neighbors calling the authorities. Brown-Edmundson and her children were later transported to the hospital.
