A child of about two and a half years died in Valls (Tarragona), Spain, after being closed in a car for about four hours, probably forgottenly forgotten by his father: several Iberian media report him. The Catalan police investigate the case, who works to reconstruct the exact dynamics of the incident.
The most accredited hypothesis, writes the EFE agency, is that the death was caused by a heat stroke, also given the very high temperatures in the area: the thermometers have in fact exceeded 36 degrees between 12 and 15, more or less in coincidence with the hours when the minor would remain closed in the car. For a confirmation, however, you will have to wait for the autopsy to the baby’s body.
To warn the possibility that there was a child in difficulty would be a passerby. At that point, the father, who had gone to work leaving the car parked near the company where he was employed, in the industrial area of Valls, ran to help his son, immediately trying to take him to a fresh area.
The emergency services, which arrived at that moment, however they found that it was too late to save his life. The parent was caught by a serious state of shock. Last May, a similar case had taken place in Linares, in the province of Jaén (Andalusia): then, according to El País, a 20 -month -old boy had died, forgotten by car by his foster father. The cause of the death, ascertained via autopsy, had been a heat stroke.
