Police said Toni Medrano, 29, poured a flammable liquid on herself in the backyard of her mother’s St. Paul Park, Minn., home on July 2, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Monday.
A spokesman for the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed she died Saturday evening, although the details surrounding her death remain under investigation, according to reports.
St. Paul Park Police Chief Mike Monahan told the Star-Tribune that Medrano was “despondent and suicidal over personal issues.â€
Medrano was facing two counts of manslaughter in the death of 3-week-old Adrian Alexander Medrano, who died of asphyxia on Nov. 22.
