A 5.5-mont-old baby was found dead in western Greece early Tuesday afternoon. The father had allegedly “forgot” it in his car in the morning and went to work. Hours later he returned to the car to find the infant dead.
Αccording to local media artinos.gr, the father allegedly forgot the infant in the back seat of his parked vehicle in the city of Arta in western Greece on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old father was supposed to bring the baby girl to the nursery and then go to work at the local municipality. According to information available until now, it seems that he went to work and forgot everything about his baby.
When the mother went at noon to pick up the baby she was reportedly told that the infant was not brought in. She called her husband and informed him about their child’s absence from the nursery.
The father rushed to his car only to find that the baby was unconscious with foam on the mouth and tied to the baby chair.
He immediately took the baby to the local hospital where doctors could only pronounce the baby dead.
Hospital sources told media that the infant was brought to the hospital at 3 p.m.
An autopsy is due to determine the causes of the infant’s death and therefore the body was taken to the hospital in Ioannina.
Newsit.gr reported from the Ioannina hospital that the father fainted and it was impossible for police to get his testimony about what exactly had happened.
Authorities continue investigation into the tragedy.
Only the local community is shocked but also the Greek society about this unprecedented death.
