A 34-year-old mother of five in Georgia has been arrested in the death of her 1-year-old daughter after the little girl was left unsupervised during a cookout and fell into a 4-foot hole that had been dug into the backyard of the home and filled with water where she drowned.

Alisha M. Stevens was taken into custody on Monday and charged with one count of second-degree murder in the tragic death of young Adlyn Stevens, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

According to a news release from the Burke County Sheriff’s Office, deputies at about 12:45 p.m. on Monday responded to a 911 call regarding an unconscious toddler at a home in the 600 block of Winter Road, which is just over 150 miles east of Atlanta.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they found someone performing CPR on “a small child” who was immediately transported to Burke County Medical Center in Waynesboro, Georgia, via ambulance. Medical personnel at the facility attempted to resuscitate the victim but were unsuccessful and she was ultimately pronounced dead.

“Preliminary information provided to deputies was that the child was left unattended for some time and while unattended the child fell into a hole that had been dug in the back yard of the Winter Road address,” the release states. “The hole was full of water and was approximately 3 to 4 feet deep. The child was in the care of her mother (Stevens) at the time this incident occurred.”

A probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime provided a few additional details regarding the circumstances of Adlyn’s untimely death.
