Story out of Mckinney, Texas:
A North Texas father and former teacher in the Celina Independent School District is free on bond. Michael Shannon Thedford was arrested after his 6-month-old daughter died after being left in a hot car yesterday.
Thedford posted $20,000 bond late Tuesday night. He has been charged with manslaughter.
Thedford told investigators he dropped off his three and 5-year-old children at a daycare center, while his wife was at work. He said he went home and went to sleep, forgetting his 6-month-old daughter was still strapped in car seat inside the minivan.
Thedford said when he went outside and found the baby not moving, he immediately took her indoors and put her in the refrigerator, with the door open. He then called his wife and 911, and attempted CPR.
When paramedics got to the home outside Melissa, deputies say the child was still unresponsive. Temperatures were in the mid 90’s by afternoon.
Thedford’s daughter is the third Texas child to die in a hot car this year. A seven-month-old Lufkin baby died in March and a three-year-old Houston boy died last week. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
