bloomshorts Tragic Oversight Leads to Infant’s Death in Belgium
A 15-month-old baby tragically lost its life after being left inside a car during a warm summer day in Belgium, as confirmed by authorities on Friday.
Investigation Underway
Prosecutors in Namur have initiated a manslaughter investigation following the incident, which occurred on Thursday. Forensic analysis has indicated that the baby succumbed to hyperthermia, ruling out any foul play.
Details of the Incident
Preliminary findings suggest the child was inadvertently forgotten inside the vehicle. Reports indicate the father may have overlooked dropping the baby at daycare before heading to work, leaving the infant in the car for several hours at his workplace parking lot.
Temperatures in Namur soared to approximately 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) on the day of the incident, exacerbating the situation inside the parked car.
