A Florida man was arrested in the 2021 choking death of his infant daughter after investigators concluded he put a baby wipe in her mouth, the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.
Joseph Napier, 30, was arrested Friday on a manslaughter charge, the sheriff’s office said.
Napier is accused of killing the infant “by shoving the baby wipe down her throat,” sheriff’s Det. Robert Sunkel said at a news conference.
Probably determined how the wipe was put down the throat that the 18month old wasn’t capable of doing it. Also says they were left alone for 30 mins not 10, and he took his time calling 911. Not sure how they know that though. Probably a lot of stuff they can’t say until it goes to court. If they could prove he intended to kill the kid he would’ve gotten a more serious charge, so yeah he will probably just end up with some sort of negligence charge causing the child’s death.
