A Utah stepfather was charged after an 18-month-old boy drowned in a bathtub on Sunday.

Ethan Antes, the 18-month-old, died on Sunday morning after he was flown to a hospital on Friday evening. The boy was found face down in a bathtub.

Codey Jolley, his stepfather, now faces charges over the boy’s death. It is anticipated that it will be amended to include child abuse homicide.

Ethan allegedly suffered injuries several times while he was home with Jolley in recent days, reported FOX13.

The Washington Post reported that Jolley had gotten sidetracked with household chores, claiming he loaded the dishwasher, cleaned the living room, and then microwaved a burrito. Then he found the boy floating face-down in the water.
