Indiana parents arrested after their three-month-old baby boy dies from ingesting meth

An Indiana couple has been arrested after police said an investigation revealed their three-month-old son died from ingesting methamphetamine.

Tara Savage and Deven Frisque were taken into custody this week, two months after their son Eben Frisque was found unresponsive in a Madison apartment. 

The baby was later pronounced dead at the apartment, Fox59 reports.

Baby Eben Frisque was found unresponsive in a Madison, Indiana apartment on July 15 and later pronounced dead 

An autopsy revealed that Eben tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine. The baby’s cause of death was listed as ‘acute methamphetamine ingestion’.

During the investigation into the baby’s death, police learned that Savage and Frisque had consumed meth and other drugs while caring for Eben and another child. 

Once the investigation was closed, the case was sent to the Jefferson County Prosecutor’s Office for review and warrants were issued for the parents.

Frisque, 32, was arrested in Jefferson County, Indiana. Savage, 28, was arrested in Kentucky and is waiting extradition back to Indiana.  

Police charged the parents with neglect of a dependent, according to WTVM-News. 

Shortly after Eben’s July 15 death, Savage posted more than two dozen photos of the baby, writing in the caption: ‘RIP Eben mommy & daddy miss you so much baby boy. We love you. Fly high sweet angel till we meet again.’
