Maine man charged with manslaughter after infant daughter dies of hypothermia

Shane McLaughlin, 37, has been arrested and charged with manslaughter following the death of his 13-month-old daughter, Eleanora Ray McLaughlin, in Milford, Maine. According to the Maine Department of Public Safety, a medical examiner determined the infant died of hypothermia in December.

McLaughlin previously told local media that the room where the family was sleeping became freezing after a pet left a door open, despite the use of a space heater. The child's estranged mother, Erika Dupuis, expressed her desire for legal action following the determination of the cause of death.
