A 3-year-old boy was on May 20 found dead on a swing in a Maryland park and remained in the swing seat until two days later when authorities found the hysterical parent still pushing his deceased corpse.
Ji'Aire Donnell Lee died of dehydration and hypothermia before he was finally found by police at Wills Memorial Park at 6:55 a.m. on May 22 about 43 and a half hours after he was first placed into the swing set, according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office in La Plata, Md.
The State Attorney's Office will review the case and decide if charges are warranted, a sheriff's office official told the Daily News.
Police said Romechia Simms arrived at the park with her son at 11:15 a.m. on May 20 — almost two full days before they were discovered. Ji'Aire was alive when he was placed in the swing and did not leave the seat until officers arrived.
There were no obvious signs of trauma on the child's body, police said.
Simms, 24, was hospitalized for four days after police found her at the disturbing scene. Her family said Simms suffers from depression and bipolar disorder. She had also endured a mental breakdown three months earlier, the family said.
Simms' mother said she suffered a psychotic episode and did not know what happened at the park.
