A Paradise man faces felony charges after apparently getting drunk and falling asleep on top of his infant child, who did not survive. Just before midnight on Sunday, medical personnel was called to a home on Violet Way in Paradise on a report of a 5-month-old baby who was not breathing. Paradise Police got there first and began CPR. Paramedics took over when they arrived but the baby could not be revived and was declared dead at the scene. The father, 25-year-old Daniel Eastman, was booked into Butte County Jail on $80,000 bail. He’s charged with child abuse resulting in death and manslaughter.
