Late ABC producer Dax Tejera, 37, tragically passed away suddenly after suffering a heart attack - and his wife Veronica Tejera has since been arrested for child endangerment after it transpired that the couple left their two young daughters aged two and five months old in a hotel room when they went out for dinner on the night that he died. 

In a statement, she said: "I asked both a close friend and my parents to rush to my children’s hotel room to attend to them as I monitored them by camera. The hotel would not allow my friend in and instead called the NYPD. We had two cameras trained on my children as they slept, and I monitored them closely in the time I was away from them. While the girls were unharmed, I realize that it was a poor decision."
