The father forgets to drop off his 2-year-old daughter at daycare: she stays in the car for 5 hours and dies

Tragic oversight for a father. He forgot his 2-year-old daughter in his car and left her locked during his work day on Tuesday in Castellón de la Plana, Spain. He had to drop the child off at daycare but he went straight to work, forgetting that his daughter was in the car seat in the back of the vehicle.

It was only at the end of his work day, when he returned to his car, that he discovered his daughter inside. The little girl was unconscious and in cardiorespiratory arrest. The father immediately went to the provincial hospital but the emergency doctors could do nothing to save the child's life.

The little girl could have fallen asleep on the way to daycare on Tuesday morning, indicates The World.

It is still over 20°C in the afternoon in Castellón de la Plana and it is known that the temperature inside cars increases quickly when they are parked in the sun and without ventilation, recalls The Mediterranean Newspaper.

The judicial police are responsible for investigating this case to understand precisely the circumstances of the father's forgetfulness.
