A former Oklahoma City metro pediatrician accused of killing her 4-year-old daughter in Florida has been charged with second-degree murder, according to court records.

In the early morning hours of June 27, police say 36-year-old Neha Gupta called Miami-Dade County’s 911 dispatch, saying her daughter had drowned at a Florida rental home. First responders arrived to find the child unresponsive and submerged in the deep end of the pool.

An autopsy later revealed the girl had no water in her stomach or lungs, but did find cuts inside the child’s mouth and bruising on her cheeks.

Investigators say Gupta smothered her 4-year-old daughter, Aria Talathi, and faked her drowning.
