Toddler Found Alone in Apt. After Father OD's

By Ap/KWMU

st. louis, mo – A 13-month old girl spent two days alone in a St. Louis apartment after her father died in the bathroom of a heroin overdose.

The body of Wayne Pondt was found Sunday.

Daughter Shianne Maddox was there, too, crying. She was taken to a hospital, then handed over to the state's Social Services department.

The baby's mother was killed about a year ago.

Investigators do not suspect anyone else was involved in Pondt's overdose.
