A baby girl is dead and another is clinging to life after their parents left them roasting in hot cars amid record-setting temperatures near Indianapolis Sunday, in separate incidents. .
The girl who died was just 3 months old. Police in Greenfield found her locked in her father's car at around 3:35 p.m., the Indianapolis Star reported.
She was later pronounced dead later at Hancock Regional Hospital.
The father, Joshua Stryzanski, 18, was arrested and charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death, the Star reported.
Police said he left the baby to suffocate in the oven-like vehicle for "an extended period of time."
In the other incident, cops at a shopping center outside Indianapolis smashed out a window of a parked Ford Explorer to rescue a 16-month-old girl left behind by her mother.
A passerby reported seeing the girl alone in the car, the Star said.
She suffered a heat-related seizure on the way to Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in Indianapolis, and was said to be in critical condition late Saturday.
The mother, Meg Trueblood, left the girl in the car for about an hour while she bargain hunted at a Simply Chic clothing store, cops said.
Police estimated temps inside the SUV hit 124 degrees.
Trueblood, 30, was charged with felony neglect of a child.
Police spokesman Tom Weger told the Star that Trueblood "didn't appear fully coherent" when she was arrested, but didn't elaborate.
At least 30 deaths were blamed on a record-setting heatwave that gripped much of the eastern half of the United States on Saturday.
Temperatures in Indianapolis hit 104 degrees, breaking a 76-year-old record for July 7.
The all-time high for the city is 106, set on July 14, 1936.
