KATY -- Katy police say a 20-month-old baby found inside his parents' car over the weekend has died at the hospital.

Investigators say the child's parents said the boy was asleep with them in their bed Sunday afternoon.

When they woke up, they say the toddler was missing. They found him in the front seat of the car outside.

Police have released the 911 call the mother made upon finding her child.

"I had just woke up and I was looking for my son, and I see my hazard lights were on in my car. And I went out there and I see my son in there," the baby's mother said.

"He has bronchial asthma … so I came inside, I gave him his breathing treatment and he's not waking up. He's breathing but he's not waking up," she said.

Detectives are still investigating the case.
