MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) — Manitowoc police are recommending child neglect and drug charges against a man and woman arrested following the death of a 3-year-old child.

The two are expected in court Friday for a bail hearing, police said Thursday at a news conference. The child was taken to the hospital July 28 with severe external and internal injuries and died that night.

Police say the two were doing illegal drugs while babysitting the child and their own 5-year-old. Police have declined to say how the younger child’s injuries were inflicted.
