Horrible way to die: 23 children, 1 in Florida, have died so far after left in hot vehicles
The number of child hot car deaths in 2024 has risen to at least 23, more than triple the number reported in early July. Tragically, two children—a 1-year-old boy and a 10-month-old girl—died on the same day, August 13. Florida has also been affected, with one confirmed fatality and another pending an autopsy. These deaths highlight the dangers of leaving children in vehicles, where temperatures can reach lethal levels quickly, even on mild days. Experts urge parents to always check the backseat and keep vehicles locked with keys out of children's reach to prevent further tragedies.
