Seal has been charged with child neglect resulting in death and faces up to 25 years if convicted.
Sergeant Brody Zolkwoski told the court he responded to the home. He says officers found a backpack near the scene with a stolen gun and fentanyl pills.
“The test yielded positive results for the presence of fentanyl," testified Zolkowski.
The prosecution also asked how many pills the responding officers located.
"1,414," Zolkwoski said.
Brooke seal's next court appearance, an arraignment, has been set for March 26th.
