Boy, 3, dies after being left in car in scorching 31C temperatures
A three-year-old boy tragically lost his life in the back of his stepmother's car after she allegedly forgot he was sleeping inside the vehicle in temperatures of over 30 degrees celsius. The dehydrated body of Miguel Antunes Versari was discovered inside a red Chrysler car, where he'd been left for over 10 hours. His mother's partner had reportedly forgotten to take him to to nursery when he dozed off in the vehicle in in Videira, Brazil last Friday, April 25. She was supposed to have dropped him at the nursery by 7 am. But, after dropping her partner - Miguel's mother, a nurse, at work, she left the child in the car and only later discovered his body when she went to pick him up from nursery, reports the Mirror. Temperatures in Videira soared to highs of 31C on Friday and, inside a hot car, could have surged to as high as 57C – akin to a heated oven. Local police launched a suspicious death investigation and have been interrogating Miguel's stepmother. "Yesterday, she said that the child had flu-like symptoms and was medicated with ibuprofen," a spokesperson for the police said. "So he was not as active as usual and was sleeping in the back seat of the vehicle. After leaving her partner at work, she did not realise that the child was sleeping." Authorities awaited an autopsy report to determine Miguel's cause of death and were also reviewing CCTV footage near the family's residence. The incident comes after a four-month-old baby died in the United States earlier this month after he was also left in a car by his father. Moshe Ehrlich, aged 35, had dropped three of his kids off at school and was meant to take the baby to the babysitter's house afterwards, according to a criminal complaint. However, he rang his wife at work to let her know that he'd forgotten the baby's milk and needed to go back home to fetch it. He collected the milk and a few other items before returning to the car. But instead of heading back to the babysitter's, he drove straight to his yeshiva - a traditional Jewish school - forgetting to drop off the baby, according to the complaint. He parked up outside the school in Lakewood, New Jersey, around 11am and went inside for his classes. Then, at about 1.30pm, someone from the school informed him that there was a phone call for him on the dedicated family emergency line. The alarm was raised after the babysitter, Esther Kitay, texted Mr Ehrlich's wife, Faiga, to ask why the baby hadn't been dropped off that morning. The father-of-six reportedly grabbed his belongings and dashed out to his car. The baby boy, whose name has not been disclosed, was rushed to Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood, where he was later pronounced dead.
