0:42Now PlayingA Florida father has been arrested in the choking death of his 2-month-old daughter after investigators concluded that he allegedly stuffed a wet wipe deep down the baby girl’s throat to muffle her crying — and then tried to blame it on her toddler sister.
Joseph Napier, 30, of Vero Beach, Florida, was charged Friday with aggravated manslaughter of a child more than two years after the death of his daughter, Iris Noelle Napier.
Officials said that Napier was the only person present in the house who could have shoved the napkin so far down the youngster’s throat, minutes after he was allegedly overheard by a relative yelling at the baby, “Why can’t you shut the f— up?!”
On May 28, 2021, deputies with the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office rushed to Napier’s home in the 1500 block of 6th Avenue for a report of an unresponsive baby.
First responders attempted CPR on the 2-month-old girl, who was “turning blue,” before taking her into an ambulance and transporting her to a hospital, according to a press release from the sheriff’s agency. Despite all the life-saving efforts, the baby died.
