The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a seven week old baby was left in a family vehicle Sunday for approximately eight hours.

The OCSO received a 9-1-1 call around 9:30 pm when the baby was discovered dead inside a van at a family member’s home in Mary Esther.

The family member reportedly was not aware that the child’s mother had placed the baby in a rear-facing car seat inside the vehicle after church around 12:45 p.m. on Sunday.
