Clark and her husband were sharing a bed with the infant when he stopped breathing, making him the second baby to die while sleeping in the couple\u2019s bed.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Lufkin Daily News, in 2009 the Clark&#8217;s had a 1-month-old son who died the same way. At that time, Child Protective Services workers warned them about the dangers of co-sleeping, as babies can be accidentally suffocated by their parents, bedding or even pillows. Following a CPS investigation, the couple\u2019s 3-year-old son was returned to their custody. At the time of the July 2010 death, a blood test showed Clark had elevated levels of Xanax and hydrocodone. The drugs were prescribed by a doctor, according to her attorney, John Reeves.<\/p>\n<p>Sentencing will take place in four to six weeks after a pre-sentencing investigation.
