A neighbor has revealed how a desperate father of horror shouted when he realized that his 15 -month -old daughter had died after she had accidentally left in his car all day.
Roy Gomes mowed his lawn when he heard the hair -raising cries of the destroyed father while he made the tragic discovery before he hurried to breathe new life into her new life.
The father had arrived to collect his daughter from Jelly Bejens Early Learning Center in Earlwood in Sydney's Inner West on Tuesday afternoon.
But when he was told that she had not been visited that day, the police said he suddenly realized that he had left her behind in his car earlier that day.
“I heard screaming and ran away and saw the father with the baby,” Mr Gomes remembered. “I took her off him and tried resuscitation for about five minutes until the ambulance arrived.
'All neighbors were really good at placing water on her and tried to cool her because she was clearly still very hot. But she was just floppy and there was no life. '
Mr. Gomes remembered the heartbreaking screams of the father when they tried to breathe new life into the young girl.
“It all happened so quickly; He shouted, the poor man, he kept shouting, “I killed my daughter,” said Mr. Gomes.

Emergency services ran on Tuesday at 5.35 pm to the stage in Marana Road after reports of a non -tracting child in a car.
The one -year -old could not be revived on the spot, despite the efforts of paramedics.
The police said they believed that the little girl was wrongly left in the car by a 'direct family member' for a 'longer period' when the temperature in Sydney rose past 30 ° C.
They suspect that the father only realized that he had not dropped her out in the childcare center earlier in the day of the day, when he had picked her up in the afternoon.
The exact circumstances of what happened are still being investigated.
The NSW police have set up a crime scene and started a major investigation.
On Wednesday, detectives were seen who arrived in the childcare center when parents arrived to drop off their children.
A neighbor confirmed that the sign for the childcare center was removed from the front garden after the horrible incident.

The last tragedy comes only two days after the death of Peuter Arikh Hasan, who was left in a car for six hours on a 35C day in Glenfield in the southwest of Sydney in February 2023.
Newaz Hasan bundled his two sons in his car for the morning school run, dropped his oldest in primary school and believed that he had dropped his youngest to childcare before he returned to their house in Glenfield to work.
But when he returned to his car in the afternoon to pick up the boys, his youngest son, Arikh, was still tied in the backseat.
Arikh had spent six hours on the 35C day in the burning car while the vehicle was parked in the driveway.
According to the NRMA, the temperature in a car can be more than 30 ° C hotter than outside the car.
Children who are stuck in cars during hot days can quickly be sad, dehydrated and die of organ failure.
