In brief
The child, of Roma origin, was taken to the University Hospital of Heraklion on Friday evening and died despite 48 minutes of CPR by doctors. She was found to have a septic presentation.
The Heraklion prosecutor filed felony criminal charges against the 45-year-old grandfather, who was caring for the infant while her parents work outside Crete. He had initially been arrested for exposure.
The infant had been unwell for several days. A few days earlier, she was examined by a paediatrician and given medication. Her condition worsened before the emergency trip.
The exact cause of death will be determined by a forensic examination. The grandfather requested and received a deadline from the examining magistrate to prepare his plea, set for Tuesday.
