The overdose of the 4-year-old occurred just two days before a 1-year-old child overdosed on methadone in Stoughton, Massachusetts. Two Manchester residents — 25-year-old Brianna Lavoie and 34-year-old Derrick Richards Lewis — were arrested last month on charges including endangering the welfare of a child. Police have not indicated any connection.
Anyone with information about Richardson is asked to call 603-624-4040.
