Baby girl dies after being left in hot car for over 15 hours

An 11-month-old girl in Missouri was found dead Sunday after being left in a hot car for at least 15 hours, a report said.

Little Joseline Eichelberger was declared dead when authorities responded to her about 4:30 p.m. in a parked car in Calverton Park, according to KMOV.

Cops determined the infant was stuck inside the car for between 15 to 16 hours.

Two persons of interest are being questioned, though cops have made no arrests.

The infant’s parents are an emotional wreck, a family friend told KMOV.

“You have two young parents. One telling one to get the child and other telling the other… you know mistakes are made,” said Barbara Beckett. “It’s a nightmare, they are traumatized. They can’t stop crying.”

Joseline’s cousin, Lilly Bellfied told the news channel, “I feel like a piece of my heart is gone because she was a part of me.”
