Lake Havasu City baby dies after being left alone in hot car
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. — Police say a Lake Havasu City man has been arrested and accused of manslaughter after his baby daughter was left alone in a hot car and died.
Lake Havasu City police say 23-year-old Ty Martin allegedly left the infant unattended in a car for up to an hour Saturday while visiting a friend, who was charged in a marijuana grow operation.
Officers began CPR on the unresponsive child until a city fire department crew arrived and transported her to the hospital.
Police say the baby was pronounced dead a short time later.
The Mohave County Medical Examiner will determine a cause of death.
Police didn’t immediately release the name of the child and it was unclear Monday if Martin has a lawyer yet who can speak on his behalf.
