According to FOX 10 Phoenix, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office responded to a report concerning an unresponsive baby in Cordes Lakes. On arriving at the scene, deputies confirmed that the baby had died. Details were scant, as the authorities did not immediately release information concerning the circumstances that led to the tragedy, including the duration the baby had been left inside the vehicle.
Where the incident took place and how long the child had been in the car before being discovered remains undisclosed, as officials continue their investigation into the events of July 30.
