An Arizona white male who pled guilty to the murder of his 2-year-old daughter died the night before he was set to turn himself in to authorities ahead of sentencing .
Christopher Scholtes‘ November 4 death is being investigated as a suicide, the Maricopa County Medical Examiner in Phoenix confirms to reporters.
Law enforcement sources said authorities are looking at carbon monoxide poisoning as a possible cause of death but the Maricopa County Medical Examiner will make the final determination. According to the Pima County Attorney’s Office in Tucson, he died Tuesday night.
The ultimate deadbeat dad left his toddler daughter, Parker, asleep in his car in July last year and went into his house in Marana, a suburb of Tucson. He reportedly played video games and watched porn inside, according to reports.
The temperature that day, July 9, reached 109 degrees, and the little girl had been left in the car for about 3 hours, according to the Pima County Attorney’s Office. Paramedics responded and took the child to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead … her body temperature had reportedly reached 108.9 degrees.
The useless white brute pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and child abuse two weeks ago in a plea deal that would have him serve no more than 30 years for both counts. He was set to surrender to authorities today ahead of his sentencing on November 21.
Another of his daughters, who will turn 18 this month, sued him for emotional distress last month, according to Tucson’s KVOA-TV.
