The child's parents are a doctor and a medical researcher at the university. Police identified the baby as Sophia Knutsen, of Richmond Heights.

Washington University officials declined comment.


On a day with the high temperature in the upper 90s, a woman spotted the baby, ran inside a building for help and called 911, and broke the car window, Police Capt. James Gieseke said. Rescuers tried to revive the child, and got her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, he said.
