A 2-year-old girl who died Friday wandered outside in the cold while her father slept, police said. While most never expected something like this to occur, one woman says she often saw the children outside and had to bring them home to their mother a few times.

While hospital officials refuse to discuss the specifics of Wynter's death, they offered winter-safety tips for parents.

The two year old later died at hospital.

The toddler was discovered by her mother at around 3.30pm unconscious in the midst of a -11 degree day.

Temperatures in Akron on Friday ranged between 12 and 19 degrees, according to AccuWeather.

The Akron mother immediately called 911 and told the dispatcher, "she's frozen!"

Police are still investigating how the toddler got outside and no arrests have been made, but the lack of details hasn't stopped people from speculating about what may have happened.

"My daughter, she was outside!" My daughter, she's not breathing!'

"She's frozen! She's frozen!" the mom screamed in anguish in a 911 call.

According to the mother, Wynter had been left with her father for about two hours at the family's apartment, while she stepped out, with authorities saying the man, who works a night shift, falling asleep.

Crystal Lucas, a neighbor who spoke with KTRK, said she is devastated by the news and wants to know how the toddler was left outside in the first place.

The child's death is under investigation, and authorities on Monday had not said whether charges may be filed in the case.

"It's just a very sad situation, it literally broke my heart", Lucas said.

The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office is now looking into the cause of her death.

A memorial of stuffed animals was on the porch of the family's apartment building.
