An Adelaide father has been charged with the alleged attempted murder of his three-year-old daughter.
Police were called to Shaun Mate's house in Kinedana St, Eden Hills, late on Thursday night, after a call for urgent assistance.
Officers spoke to a woman there before going into a bedroom where they allegedly found Mate, 43, and a three-year old girl both unconscious, and an open gas tank nearby.
