An 8-month-old baby died after she was “inadvertently” left in a car, Florida authorities said.

The child was in a car with his father on Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 20, in Jacksonville, according to a news release from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The father pulled up outside the home and went inside to do some work and accidentally left his daughter in the back seat, the release said.

The father remembered the child had been left in the back seat about an hour later, according to the release, and chased after her. When he opened the car, he found the child unresponsive. He began CPR and called 911, according to the release.

The child was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

According to the press release, no charges have been filed and the incident remains under investigation.

“Always check your vehicle when exiting to make sure no one is inside,” the sheriff’s office said in response to the incident. “The temperature inside the car can quickly rise to about 100 degrees.”

The high temperature in Jacksonville on Tuesday was 89 degrees.

At least 29 children died in the burning wagons this year, according to Kids and Car Safety.

Anyone with information is asked to contact First Coast Crime Stoppers or the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500.
