Pastor charged after baptism drowning in Birmingham

Cheryl Bartley, pastor of Life Changing Ministries, has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the death of 61-year-old Robert Smith during a paddling-pool baptism in Erdington, Birmingham, on Oct. 8, 2023. The Crown Prosecution Service says criminal proceedings are active and Bartley will appear at Birmingham magistrates’ court on May 14. Smith, originally from Jamaica and who had Parkinson’s, sought a second baptism to become a born‑again believer; the ceremony was livestreamed before the feed was cut. Investigators say the case remains active and have urged any reporting to avoid prejudicing the proceedings.
