Investigators determined the infant’s father “inadvertently" left her in the backseat of an SUV at their Springfield home for an “extended period of time” while he used a second car to run errands, police said.
“After returning home, he then drove the SUV to an in-home daycare to pick up another child when he realized the 11-month-old was still in the back seat,” the police statement said.
A medical examiner is working to determine the cause of death, police said.
Temperatures in the area on Friday reached the high 80s and low 90s, according to records from the National Weather Service.
Detectives consulted with the Fairfax County Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, and no charges are expected to be brought in this case, police said.
