STURGIS, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Nearly two weeks after police arrested and charged a St. Joseph County mother in the death of her two-year-old daughter, authorities released the 911 call she made that day.
Twenty-one-year-old Paige Bohne initially faced involuntary manslaughter charges; since then, the prosecutor upgraded those charges to open murder in the death of her daughter, Octavia.

“Hello, my daughter is not breathing,” Bohne first says to the dispatcher. When asked, “Can you see or hear any breathing at all?” Bohne replies, “no.” The dispatcher then walked Bohne through CPR. Despite life-saving efforts, Octavia died.
The call suggests someone else was in the home at the time of the incident because Bohne asks him or her about the address. Authorities have not discussed that information.
