'CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y. - The January death of a 5-year-old Rockland County, N.Y. boy has been ruled a homicide and his mother is under investigation, sources tell CBS New York's radio affiliate WCBS 880.

Garnett Spears, of Chestnut Ridge, died Jan. 23 at Westchester Medical Center. Before his death, sources tell the station, doctors found the boy had suspiciously high levels of sodium in his system.
...
Lucian Chalfen, a spokesperson for the Westchester District Attorney's Office, told CBS News' Crimesider on Tuesday that the Westchester Medical Examiner ruled Garnett's death a homicide about a month ago.

At this point, Chalfen said, the death remains under investigation by the D.A.'s office, Westchester County Police and the Ramapo Police Department.

Chalfen told Crimesider that he anticipates "a shoe will drop" in the case in the next month or so.

When the child was hospitalized just prior to his death, Lacey Spears phoned a friend and asked her to get rid of one of the bags she used to feed Garnett through a tube in his abdomen, according to the paper. Police later obtained the bag and discovered a high concentration of sodium inside, sources reportedly told the paper.

Neither the medical examiner's office nor the two police departments on the case would comment.'
