HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The mother who admitted to drowning her 7-year-old child has been hospitalized after suffering a severe head injury.
Brandi Elliott is charged with first degree murder after confessing to holding her daughter Piper's head underwater at Old Hickory Lake in July until she stopped breathing.
The child later died at the hospital.
Elliott has been locked up in the Sumner County jail without bond, but we’ve learned Elliott was rushed to the hospital over the weekend with a severe head injury.
The details have not been released and we've confirmed she was not attacked by another inmate.
It is not clear if she was on suicide watch or if she deliberately hurt herself. There is no word on her condition at this time.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
