EDISON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Two suspects were charged Tuesday in the apparent drug-related death of a 17-year-old girl in Edison, New Jersey.

William A. King, 22, of Edison, and Andrew A. Lindo, 22, of Somerset, were charged in the death of Rose Carlin of Woodbridge, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's office. They were each charged with endangering the welfare of a child, hindering apprehension, and tampering with physical evidence, prosecutors said.
