(Daily Caller) The father of a 3-month-old baby who was found in the woods was arrested and charged with murder on Monday, according to ABC News.

Officials allege that 23-year-old Damion Comager shook his daughter Genevieve because she wouldn’t stop crying, but then realized that she had died, according to ABC News. Comager allegedly panicked, placed the daughter’s body into a bag, and threw her along the Major Deegan Expressway, a few blocks from where they lived.

The grandfather, who was aware of the tragic event, reported everything to the authorities, saying he wanted to “do the right thing,” according to ABC News.

Police spent hours looking for the corpse and eventually found the infant’s body in the woods below a pedestrian overpass in the Highbridge section of the Bronx, according to ABC News. Officials also interviewed the mother, Ivana Paolozzi, who has been charged with the concealment of a human corpse and obstructing governmental administration.

Comager, once in the police car, allegedly told reporters that he loved his daughter and that the incident was a “mistake,” according to ABC News.

A neighbor said that none of this would have happened if the parents had just reached out for help, according to ABC News. “That baby deserved a life. I don’t care what the circumstances are. There’s the fire department, take that baby and drop it off,” one neighbor said.

The official cause of death is still to be identified, but the authorities are treating the infant’s death as a murder, according to ABC News.
