Story out of Healdsburg, California:
A father is suspected of drowning his 4-year-old daughter in a baptismal pool at a Catholic church, Healdsburg Police Chief Kevin Burke said Monday afternoon.
Gerardo Mendoza Ordaz, 42, was found by Healdsburg police naked and screaming for help in a back parking lot of the police station on Center Street around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Burke said.
His daughter, who was clothed, and his partially-clothed 9-year-old son were with him, Burke said. The girl was unresponsive and after attempts to resuscitate her, she was rushed to Healdsburg District Hospital where she was pronounced dead 90 minutes later. An autopsy was conducted Monday, but Burke said he did not know the results.
The water in the baptismal pool is about a foot deep, Burke said.
Ordaz was arrested for homicide and is being held under no bail in the Sonoma County jail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Sonoma County Superior Court. Cont.
