SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Two Spotsylvania County parents will head to trial in the spring of 2025 after their 2-year-old son died in a Richmond hospital with a “significant amount” of cocaine in his system.
Cinceir Croxton, Jr., or “CJ,” was two years old when he died at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) pediatric hospital in Dec. 2023. He was flown there from a Spotsylvania motel after he was exposed to a “significant amount” of cocaine, according to authorities.
CJ’s parents — 24-year-old Cinceir Croxton, Sr. and 22-year-old Kayleighya Coleman — were not at the hospital when he died. While they did go up to the hospital initially, they reportedly left and returned to the hotel prior to CJ’s death.
