OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Prosecutors are now filing a second-degree murder charge against former Oklahoma University Health pediatrician, Neha Gupta, who is accused of killing her 4-year-old daughter.

Gupta was originally arrested in June after an arrest warrant was issued for first-degree murder. Her daughter was found unresponsive by a pool at a short-term rental in Florida.

She told investigators that her daughter drowned in the pool while she was sleeping.

The medical examiner who did the autopsy report said that there were no signs of drowning, and the inside of the child's mouth showed injuries that were consistent with smothering.

Gupta was charged with aggravated manslaughter last week. This week, court records show that she has now been charged with second-degree murder.
