A 2-month-old baby who was found unresponsive in a hot car in Santee last week was identified Monday by sheriff’s investigators.
Diana Sofia Aleman Roman was found by a family member around 12:20 a.m. June 13 after she had apparently been left inside a parked car, Lt. Lon Nguyen said in a news release Monday. The girl’s family told investigators that they had arrived home, on Settle Road near Dalehurst Road, about 3 p.m. June 12, and the child was found about nine hours later, Nguyen said.
The family member called 911. Paramedics arrived and took the baby to a hospital, where she died.
Her cause of death will be determined by the county Medical Examiner’s Office.No arrests have been made. Officials said the investigation is continuing.
They asked anyone with information about the incident to call the sheriff’s child abuse unit at (858) 285-6222 or the Sheriff’s Department non-emergency line at (858) 868-3200.
