A 40-year-old Pennsylvania woman is in custody for the death of her 5-year-old son, police say.

Fox 20 reports that the incident happened in Philadelphia on Monday night, off of the 4800 block of Pine Street. The child’s father came home to find the boy drowning in a bathtub full of water, with a laceration to his neck.
