A north-Texas father who left his child in a hot car panicked and put her in a fridge in an effort to revive her, CBSDFW reports.
Michael Thedford's six-month-old daughter died after he left the girl strapped in the family mini-van following a school run.
Thedford said when he went outside and found the baby not moving, he immediately took her indoors and put her in the refrigerator, with the door open. He then called his wife and emergency services, and attempted CPR.
Fabiola Contreras, a neighbour, said Thedford and the child's mother were in tears.
"Forgetting a child? His child? It's hard to believe because how can you forget a child in your own car? It's your child," she said.
