Stuckey said she tried to resuscitate the girl but “did not know how.”She told investigators she was not sure if she had placed a bathtub stopper in the drain. Emergency responders were not able to resuscitate the girl, and she was pronounced dead at a hospital, the report said.A Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s preliminary autopsy report revealed Zayla died from drowning. Stuckey was booked in to the Parker County Jail and charged with injury to a child.According to a spokeswoman, Stuckey’s other kids had been in foster care and were just returned to her about a month before Zayla died. Detectives say the kids were removed due to neglect.
