UPDATED MAR 8, 2019

A Pennsylvania father is facing involuntary manslaughter charges after his infant son was suffocated when he fell asleep on his chest.

The death of one-month-old Isiah has also lead to charges of child endangerment against 26-year-old Owen Labrenn Copney, Daily Mail reports. On September 17, 2018, Copney allegedly fell asleep with his son lying face down on his chest at their Colombia Avenue home in Vandergrift. Isiah's mother was visiting a friend when she had left him alone with his father.
