He has said an 18-month-old child placed the wipe down his 2-month-old daughter's throat.

A Florida man was arrested in the 2021 choking death of his infant daughter after investigators concluded he put a baby wipe in her mouth, the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.

Joseph Napier, 30, was arrested Friday on a manslaughter charge, the sheriff’s office said.

Napier is accused of killing the infant “by shoving the baby wipe down her throat,” sheriff’s Det. Robert Sunkel said at a news conference.
