Mercer County (WLIO) - A Celina man pleaded guilty to causing the death of a two-year-old in Mercer County in 2020. 30-year-old Brandon Edwards pled to the charges of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated possession of drugs, and endangering children. Five other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal.
In February 2020, 2-year-old Ezra Siegrist was found dead at a Montezuma home. The autopsy done by the Montgomery County Coroner's Office says the toddler died as a result of “Methamphetamine Intoxication" and blunt force trauma to the head. Edwards was in a relationship with his mother at the time of his death. Edwards will be sentenced on the charges at the end of November.
