An Alexandria woman accused of murdering her 5-year-old daughter has been declared “clinically deceased” a few days after attempting suicide while in custody at the Rapides Parish Jail.

Anderson brought her daughter to a hospital on July 17^th, saying she was injured in a car accident, but authorities say her story changed several times, and the wounds appeared suspicious.

Guillot says he’s still trying to get more information about the incident but considering Anderson was in a mental facility when she was initially arrested, the jail should have taken more precautions.
