An investigation is underway in West Virginia after a 3-month-old reportedly died in a hot car on Wednesday.
According to KDKA, the deceased baby was found in a rear-facing car seat in the backseat of an SUV in Morgantown. Police told the news outlet that a parent left the infant in the car for several hours while at work.
This appears to be the second child to die in a hot car this year. Weeks earlier, a 3-year-old girl in South Carolina reportedly died in a hot car — marking the first hot-car death of the year. According to No Heat Stroke, 29 children died in hot cars in 2023.
No charges have been filed in connection with the latest hot-car death.
