Leslie Laughlin Indicted In Daughter's Death

17-year-old died of prescription drug overdose

The mother of a Cape Henlopen High School student, who died in July from a drug overdose, has been indicted on charges of endangering the welfare of a child.

Attorney General Beau Biden announced today his office has secured an indictment against Leslie Laughlin, 46, of Milton, charging her with endangering the welfare of a child and other crimes for providing her daughter, Emily, with prescription narcotics. Emily died in July from a drug overdose. “This young woman’s avoidable death is a tragic testament to the danger of prescription drug misuse and abuse,” said Biden.
