Family Defends Dad Who Refused To Let Cops Break Window As Baby Died In Hot Car

A Las Vegas dad was placed into custody after he refused to let officers break the window of his new car to save his dying baby, authorities stated.

27 year old Sydney Deal flagged down police officers after he had left one-year-old Sayah Deal in the hot car during the afternoon, his keys still inside.

Officers offered to break the window, to call a locksmith, or a tow truck, but Deal refused, instead asking officers to call his brother.

Minutes later, officers went ahead and broke the window to pull out Sayah, who was unresponsive. She died at the scene.

While her cause of death is still undetermined, police believe she had been in the hot car for over an hour.
