PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A woman from Pennsylvania has been charged with child endangerment after state police found a man dead inside a home.
According to a Pennsylvania State Police report, troopers from Gettysburg responded on Nov. 7 to a home on West King Street in Littlestown Borough in Adams County. CBS 21 reported that state police were called to investigate a dead body.
