Baby found dead after mother ‘running late’ forgot her in car for 9 hours

A 15-month-old baby girl, Sofia Aveiro, has been confirmed dead after her mother, Karen Osorio-Martinez, left her in the car for nine hours.
The 35-year old mother, a senior research scientist at Procter & Gamble in Mason, OH said she forgot to drop Sofia off at day care because she was running late for work.

Karen Osorio-Martinez at the close of the day, frantically called 911 Wednesday around 5pm when she found her daughter, Sofia Aveiro motionless and strapped in a rear-facing car seat.
A Warren County prosecutor has said it would be premature to discuss criminal charges against Osorio-Martinez until after a police investigation has been completed.
She told the dispatcher her daughter was dead when she was asked to perform CPR.
‘My baby just died,’ she said.

Osorio-Martinez found her daughter after learning from her husband Henrique Aveiro that the baby wasn’t at day care when he tried to pick her up.
The baby’s day care, Crème de la Crème, in Mason, is approximately a five-minute drive away from P&G and the family’s home, Dayton, Daily Mail reported.
According to an Ohio coroner, preliminary autopsy shows the baby’s death was heat-related.
The family in a statement said, “Words cannot express the depth of despair we feel at the loss of our baby girl Sofia”.

“Everyone who had the privilege of knowing Sofia would say that she was truly a blessed child who brought smiles, joy and happiness to everyone.”
