Infant Dead After Being Left in Hot Car Outside Spring Hill Home
At approximately 11:16 a.m. on Friday, August 17, 2018, Hernando County Sheriff’s deputies, along with Hernando County Fire Rescue, were dispatched to 12310 Elgin Boulevard in Spring Hill after 9-1-1 operators received a call of an infant who had just been removed from a hot car.
During the 9-1-1 call, a person on-scene was providing CPR to the infant.
Upon arrival, deputies and fire rescue immediately began rendering aid to the infant.
The infant, in critical condition, was quickly transported to Oak Hill Hospital by Hernando County Fire Rescue. Deputies established a crime scene at the residence.
Preliminary investigation reveals that the male infant, 9 month-old Keyton O’Callaghan, had been in the care of his 38 year-old mother, Cami Lee Moyer since last night.
The infant was discovered in the car, in the driveway, by the 32 year-old father, Eric
O’Callaghan just before the 9-1-1 call was placed this morning. O’Callaghan performed CPR on the infant until fire rescue arrived and took over.
Unfortunately, Keyton O’Callaghan was pronounced deceased by a physician at Oak Hill Hospital at approximately 12:06 p.m.
It is unknown, at this time, how long little Keyton had been in the car.
Detectives are still working to establish a chronological timeline of events.
Detectives are still in the process of interviewing Cami Lee Moyer.
There is no additional information available at this time.
