A three-year-old child has died after being locked in a car at a property in Sydney’s north-west on Saturday afternoon.
The young girl’s family found her unconscious on the back seat of their white sedan in Cameo Circuit, Glenwood, about 4.45pm.
When police arrived, family were performing CPR inside the home, with police taking over until the arrival of NSW Ambulance paramedics.
A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said that, when paramedics arrived, the girl was in cardiac arrest.
She was rushed to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition, but later died.
Fairfax Media understands the girl’s mother has told police there was confusion over who was looking after the little girl.
It’s believed the family returned home to Glenwood on Saturday afternoon following some Christmas shopping.
The mother thought the girl’s grandmother or aunt, who were both at the Glenwood home, were looking after the toddler however the grandmother and aunt thought the mother was.
Police have been told no one in the family could account for the girl’s whereabouts for about two hours up to 4.45pm, the length of time they believe she was left in the car.
The temperature in north-west Sydney reached its peak of about 29 degrees about 3pm on Saturday.
Police spent Saturday examining the family’s car and other parts of the home.
“A crime scene has been established at the location while police from Quakers Hill Local Area Command investigate all the circumstances surrounding the girl’s death,” a statement said.
“They are asking anyone with information to assist them to come forward.”
