enough heroin and fentanyl to \u201crender an adult unconscious,\u201d a Brooklyn prosecutor said Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Auster, 44, told authorities that he woke up in his young family\u2019s Park Slope apartment on the afternoon of Nov. 1 to find his 10-month-old daughter Ruby\u2019s \u201clips blue and eyes stiff\u201d \u2014 and then futilely tried to save her with Narcan, said Assistant District Attorney Tien Tran at Daniel\u2019s arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court.<\/p>\n<p>The troubled dad, who had been using heroin that day, told cops he gave Ruby the Narcan \u201cin case I f\u2013ked up,\u201d the ADA said.<\/p>\n<p>Paramedics were called the scene and found the baby unconscious and unresponsive, and she was later pronounced dead at nearby Methodist Hospital, the NYPD said.<\/p>\n<p>City medical examiners found that Ruby died of an overdose of fentanyl and heroin \u2014 with enough drugs in her body to \u201crender an adult unconscious,\u201d Tran said.<\/p>\n<p>Police have yet to determine how Ruby ingested the fatal drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Her dad \u2014 who was arrested Friday night and charged with second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child in her death \u2014 copped up to have \u201cglassine packets of heroine\u201d that he kept in the bathroom, Tran said.<\/p>\n<figure
