Baby Dies in Car Left at Fla. Racetrack
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - A 9-month-old girl died after she was left in a parked car at the racetrack where her father worked as a groom, police said.
The father, 27-year-Antonio Francisco Balta, was charged with aggravated manslaughter and jailed without bail Sunday, police said. It was unclear whether he had hired an attorney.
Rescue workers tried to resuscitate the girl Saturday at Gulfstream Park, but she died later at a hospital. Andrew Casper, a spokesman for Hallandale Beach police, could not say how long the child was left in the vehicle while temperatures rose into the upper 70s.
Gulfstream officials declined comment Sunday.
