Story here. Excerpt:

'The second child a Pittsburgh woman allegedly drowned because "crazy voices" led her to kill her children has died.

Daniel Schlemmer, 6, was confirmed dead Saturday - just four days after he and his younger brother Luke, 3, were drowned in a hot tub near Pittsburgh by their 40-year-old mother Laurel Michelle Schlemmer, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office said.

Daniel had been brain dead since Tuesday before succumbing to the horrific action of his mother. He had been on life support at a Pittsburgh hospital.

Laurel told police "crazy voices" told her to drown her children in a bathtub Tuesday after her third son left for school at her McCandless Pa. home.
...
She called 911 but gave the dispatcher several different versions of events of what happened.

She first said she found her sons unconscious after they had been playing in the bathtub, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.'
