HAGATNA, Guam - A Guam father is accused of forgetting his daughter in a vehicle for seven hours, resulting in her death.

The Guam Attorney General's office says Anthony Morcilla has been indicted in the death of his 2-year-old daughter.

Morcilla was arrested on April 3 after allegedly forgetting to drop off the toddler at daycare and leaving her in the vehicle while he was at work. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
