Chandler father forgets baby in car; baby dies
A 3-month-old girl who was left in a sweltering parked sport utility vehicle for nearly two hours died Friday morning, officials said.
Amberlee Elizabeth Brown was apparently left in the SUV accidentally Thursday afternoon by her father, who had run errands and forgot about the baby when he returned home, officials said.
Police and firefighters were called to the home in Chandler just after 3 p.m. Thursday and found the baby, who officials said had a core temperature of 109 degrees, said Sgt. Rick Griner, a police spokesman.
