Cape Town - A 17-month-old baby has been found dead in a car in a parking lot at the University of Cape Town, police said on Saturday.
Captain Randall Stoffels said the baby's father was supposed to drop off the child at creche on Friday morning, but instead went to the university.
When the baby's mother went to fetch the child from the creche at 13:00, she was told the baby was not there.
She found the infant in her husband's car at the university at 15:00. Upon arrival, paramedics declared the child dead. A post-mortem would be held to establish the cause of death.
Stoffels would not disclose the father's position at the university, would not say where the family was from and refused to release their names and that of the creche.
He said an inquest docket was being investigated.
