Betty Jean Fields was found beneath her father Jason Fields, who is thought to have died from sudden cardiac arrest at the family home in the small town of Pleasant Hill in Louisiana.
Investigators believe Mr. Fields, 43, could have been dead on the bed with Betty Jean under him, pinned against a wall, for up to three days.
The pair were discovered on Friday when the little girl's brother, said to be three or four years old, ran to a neighbor's house and told them he thought his father was dead, relatives told local news channel KSLA News 12.
