Infant Left in Houston Car as Father Went to Work Found Dead

Police say a 7-month-old boy has died after he was left in a car outside a Houston business while his father was inside working.

Authorities say the infant's 36-year-old father had dropped off two of his three children at a day care Friday and then went to work.

The boy normally was left with a baby sitter and the man's wife called him at the end of the workday inquiring where the child was.

The father went out to his car and found the boy unresponsive. The circumstances weren't clear that lead the child to be left in the car.

Temperatures Friday were in the 90s.

Police are continuing to investigate the incident and are expected to forward the case to the Harris County district attorney's office for review.
