The desperate father of a baby girl who died after he was left in a hot car, broke his silence for the first time.
Etienne Ancelet exclusively spoke with Daily Mail Australia to expel earlier media reports that claimed that he and his partner Kim Visconti had made a public explanation together about the death of their 14-month-old daughter Olivia.
The toddler was found lifeless, still tied up in her baby capsule in his car, outside of Jelly Beings Early Learning Center in Earlwood, in the Inner West of Sydney, Tuesday.
Ancelet made the horrible discovery just after 5.30 pm when he arrived to gather her from childcare, but the staff told him she had never been dropped off.
He then found Olivia in his car where she had left for hours for hours, while the temperatures outside 30 ° C exceeded.
In his house on Thursday morning, Mr Ancelet told Daily Mail Australia that the couple struggled with the tragic loss of their daughter.
And he said he was stunned by the previous statements that would have been made public without his knowledge.
“At the moment the statement I would like to make that we have not made any statements to the media and we still process this,” Mr Ancelet told Daily Mail Australia.
“I would appreciate a clarification that the family did not make any statements.”
