Juli McCrery of Irving, Texas, is in Massachusetts State Police custody in Concord and has confessed to giving her son an overdose of cough syrup that resulted in his death.
Preliminary autopsy findings showed that the cause of Camden's death was asphyxiation and the manner of death was homicide, according to Maine's chief medical examiner, Dr. Margaret Greenwald. The homicide remains under investigation.
The woman has been revealed as a former school bus driver and cement mixer, who once wrote a book about how to fall asleep, called: 'Goodnight, Sleep Tight'.
But she was also a troubled woman who battled mental illness and substance abuse and had tried to kill herself, relatives told the Boston Globe.
