BENICIA, Calif. (AP) -- Prosecutors have decided not to file charges against a Benicia man whose infant son died after he accidentally left the child in the car for more than six hours.

Danny Takemoto, 46, was released from jail Thursday afternoon, after being arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment Wednesday.

Takemoto told police that he was supposed to drop off his eleven-month-old son Ian at a day care center Wednesday morning but forgot. Instead he accidentally left the boy strapped into his car seat while he went to work.

When his wife called hours later to ask why Ian was not at the day care, Takemoto ran out to the minivan to find the child's lifeless body.
