Child dies forgotten in car

A six-month-old has died a modern death after the father forgot the baby was in his car. There have been many reports of small kids dying in overheated parked cars, including this Pulitzer-winning piece in the Washington Post, but I don’t recall seeing one reported here before.

In La Presse, Fanny Lévesque gives us a more detailed account of the incident. CTV’s account emphasizes how both the parents and the daycare workers were treated for shock.

Update: Media said Saturday that police will meet the parents soon but it’s unknown yet whether charges will be laid.
