Girl, 5, dies from overdose of COUGH MEDICINE after taking just twice the recommended dose

A five-year-old girl has died at her grandmother's home after suffering an accidental overdose from cough medicine, according to medical examiners.

La Plata County Coroner Carol Huser says Kimber Michelle Brown, of Hermosa, Colorado, had almost two-and-a-half times the upper limit of dextromethorphan, a drug found in cough and cold suppressants.

The girl also had above therapeutic levels of Cetirizine, another drug used to treat colds or allergy symptoms.
