In a tragic incident, a Michigan woman faces manslaughter charges following the death of her 11-year-old daughter on Sunday.

According to prosecutors, Sherry Leak contacted emergency services, reporting an “altercation” and that she was administering CPR to her daughter, WOOD reported.

Emergency personnel arrived but were unable to revive the child, who was identified as Mialah Leak by Fruitport Community Schools. Sadly, she was declared deceased at the location.

Authorities have yet to disclose the cause of death or detail any injuries, stating that an autopsy is pending to determine further information.

Sherry Leak remains in custody without the option of bail, with her court appearance set for Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Muskegon County Chief Assistant Prosecutor, Timothy Maat, confirmed that another child was removed from the residence by Children’s Protective Services for their safety.

That child was likely Mialah’s twin sister, who was adopted along with Mialah when the children were young, a neighbor told WZZM.

The neighbor, Christine Hagen-Galloway, claimed that Leak and her daughter fought “a lot.”

“Okay, I’ve seen some things I would rather not see, and I’ve heard things I’d rather not hear,” she said.

Hagen-Galloway also claimed that multiple people had contacted Child Protective Services about Leak’s treatment of Mialah, but nothing was ever done. WZZM was unable to confirm any instances of prior abuse at the home, and Fruitport Township Police could not provide any information on any reports at the house.

Another neighbor, who said she had lived next door to the Leaks for more than a decade, told WOOD she had never witnessed any problems at the house.

Kristen Williams told the station Mialah was often outside playing with the other children in the neighborhood.

“I mean, I watched this girl grow,” she said.
