A two-year-old boy died from agonising heatstroke after being left locked in a car in searing 32-degree Celsius heat outside a nursery for four hours when the owner forgot he was there.
Little Salomao Rodrigues Faustino was found close to death in the vehicle in Neropolis, in Brazil's Goais state, on 18th February when the nursery head, Flaviane Lima, remembered him and called firefighters.
Police say he had been left locked in with all the windows closed and strapped into his baby seat unable to move.
Experts calculate that after four hours the temperature inside the car would have been nearly 60 degrees Celsius.
Although he was rushed to Sagrado Coracao de Jesus Hospital, Salomao was declared dead shortly after arrival.
