Officers said the baby's father dropped his two other children off at daycare and got to work around 9:30 a.m. Friday. The other baby typically gets dropped off separately by a babysitter but was with the father.

His wife called asking where the baby was, and around 7:30 p.m. the father found the baby unresponsive in the car seat.

Investigators questioned the father and released him pending further investigation.

Police are not releasing any other details at this time.
