Sofia Wisher of Antioch was pronounced dead after she was found in her car seat outside the In Shape Sports Club on Lone Tree Way shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday, authorities said.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of the girl's death, the Contra Costa County coroner's office said.

Sofia had been in the seat since 11:30 p.m. Saturday, said Antioch police Sgt. Diane Aguinaga. Her parents both work two jobs, and "both thought the other parent had the baby," Aguinaga said.

It was unclear which parent had last driven the station wagon and left the girl in the seat, police said. When the infant's father woke up Sunday morning, he went to the gym, "thinking all was fine" and not realizing that Sofia was in the car, Aguinaga said.

When the baby's mother got up, she realized that Sofia wasn't in her crib, police said. She called the gym, where her husband was working out. Gym staff alerted him.

He ran outside and found Sofia dead in the car, Aguinaga said. The windows were up, said police Lt. Leonard Orman.
