02/19/2008: "Not Funny In Real Life"

This story sounds a lot like a setup bit between Peter and Stewie on Family Guy. Unfortunately, this one's true and not at all funny ...

A man who police said passed out intoxicated on top of his 2-year-old grandson has been charged with reckless homicide in the boy's death.

"The infant had been placed somehow in a soft cushion chair, and the suspect allegedly, in an apparent intoxicated state, sat down in the chair where the infant was laying and passed out in the chair," said Detective Steve Goodale of Kentucky State Police.

This is one of those terrible stories where no one wins. The grandfather, who OD'd on prescription drugs, will have to live with the memory of his action. The family has lost a son, and a grandfather.

Life can be a cruel bitch sometimes ...
