[size=16]Uncle charged in death of boy in hot tub[/size]

The uncle of a 20-month-old boy who died after he was found in a hot tub in his father's backyard has been charged with child abuse resulting in death.

Jarrod Newsome, 28, surrendered to Adams County authorities and was released on $20,000 bail.

His nephew, Kaden Newsome, died Aug. 19, a week after he was found in the hot tub at the Adams County home of the boy's father.

The toddler and his 2-year-old sister had been left with Newsome while their father ran errands, and the uncle had fallen asleep on a couch, authorities said.

A woman found the boy in the water when she arrived at the home at 8199 Welby Road to pick up her dog, sheriff's officers said.

Authorities believe the 32- inch-tall boy crawled into the 26- inch-high tub and drowned. He may have climbed onto a heating unit on the side of the hot tub to get in, they said.

Newsome also faces a misdemeanor charge of child abuse because the girl was unsupervised. He is to appear in court Sept. 25 on the charges.
