MEDINA, Ohio - A grand jury decided Friday not to indict the father of a baby boy who died in a hot car when the man went to work.

        Medina County Prosecutor Dean Holman said the grand jury considered charges of involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide against Todd Costello, 33, of Medina.

        They listened to five hours of testimony from a coroner, police officers and Mr. Costello's co-workers.

        “They felt the charges were not appropriate in this case,” Mr. Holman said.

        Nine-month-old Tyler Costello died July 29. He was found in the car about three hours after his father went to work and apparently forgot about the youngster.

        The boy's father said last week that “there's no punishment that anybody walking this planet could give me that could ever compare to how I feel.”

        Relatives have said the death was an accident, a result of Mr. Costello being distracted by a change in the baby-sitting routine that day and an upcoming presentation at work.

        The Medina County coroner said Tyler died of overheating. The infant's temperature had reached 108 degrees when he was declared dead at the hospital. The temperature outside was 83 degrees.
