Montreal police will not question the parents of a baby who died after being left in a car all day until they have overcome their initial shock.

“There’s no point in speaking with them at this time,” police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils said.

The six-month-old died in downtown Montreal after being left in a car in the hot sun all day Friday.

According to police, the infant’s father forgot the baby in his car instead of dropping the child off at a daycare centre on corner of Robert-Bourassa Blvd. and William St.

When he returned just after 5:00 p.m. to collect his child, he was informed by daycare staff that the baby hadn’t been checked in that day and he found the toddler in his car.

First responders were called at 5:35 p.m. and tried to resuscitate the child who was pronounced dead at the scene.

“For the moment nothing says that there was anything criminal about this case,” Chèvrefils said. “It seems to be an accident. We’re waiting for the coroner’s report.”

The coroner is investigating the case.
