MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WECT) - A man whose daughter died while on vacation in Myrtle Beach in 2007 will stand trial in connection to the child's death.

Officials say Miles Furgeson is scheduled to appear on court on November 9 after being arrested July 2007.

Furgeson's daughter, 5-week-old Mylee Furgeson, was taken to a Myrtle Beach hospital after she stopped breathing while her family was on vacation. Hospital workers noticed the baby's injuries were consistent with shaken baby syndrome.

Following the discovery, Furgeson was arrested.
