(KSL News) The mother of a baby who died of a drug overdose will be sentenced today.

Mary Lacey pleaded guilty to desecration of a body.

Authorities say her boyfriend, Raymond Chesley, left a bag of meth within the baby's reach. The infant later died after ingesting the drug. Lacey moved the body from Chesley's home to Murray.

In December, Chesley pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter. He will be sentenced in February and faces 15 years in prison.
