DAYTON, OHIO---More than a year after she brought her dead month-old baby to the hospital, a woman has been charged with aggravated murder for allegedly killing her baby in a microwave oven.
Bail was set at $1 million for China Arnold, 26, whose daughter, Paris Talley, died in August, 2005. When Arnold brought her to Children's Medical Center on Aug. 30, the infant was already dead. The cause of death was ruled to be a homicide caused by hyperthermia, high body temperature, due to thermal injury.
The director of the Montgomery County coroner's office which performed the autopsy said that they now have reason to believe and scientific evidence to support that a microwave oven might have been involved in the death of the child.
Arnold had been arrested at the time of the death but then released.
Her attorney says that the night before the baby died, Arnold and the child's father had left the baby with a babysitter. He says that Arnold found the baby unconscious the next morning.
She has three other children. 11-28-06

LORAIN A young woman was arrested Tuesday on charges of abandoning her 2-month-old baby in a garage where he was found dirty and hungry.
Detective Mark Carpentiere said Heather Heck, 23, was charged with child endangering and would be arraigned today. She admitted the baby was hers, Carpentiere said.
The baby was found Sunday in a car inside a detached two-vehicle garage shared by Heck and a neighbor, Robert Arroyo, 24. He called police and said he had found the naked baby boy in a clothes basket.
The baby was wrapped in a soiled bed sheet in the back seat of a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer belonging to Heck's boyfriend, police said.
According to a police report, physicians determined that the baby appeared to have bed sores from lying in the same position for two or three days. Before her arrest, Heck and her boyfriend said they had spent the weekend out of town.
The baby was reported in fair condition Tuesday at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland.
