Toddler dies after falling asleep in car seat in Denver

Late last week, father Elisha discovered his little girl, unresponsive in her car seat, in the family’s southwest Denver home.

Eliyah was rushed to Swedish Medical Center, but would die one day later.

Ashley states Eliyah fell asleep with her head against the car seat strap, and, little by little, lost oxygen.

The family is still waiting for the official Coroner’s report.

In the middle of their worst nightmare, Ashley Garcia and Elisha Deal are finding the power to forewarn others.

They are still attempting to process the death of their one-and-a-half-year-old child : Eliyah.

In the meantime, Eliyah’s parents have started  a GoFundMe page, to help with funeral expenses.
