A 6-month-old boy has died after he was left in a hot car in Arizona for about seven hours, authorities said.
The incident unfolded after the mom asked a neighbor to drive her to Prescott Valley on Tuesday, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said.
The baby was in his car seat in the back of the neighbor’s car and he fell asleep on the neighbor’s way home to Cordes Lakes, the sheriff’s office said.
The neighbor was asked to drop the baby off with his father, who lives next door and “would be home shortly,” according to the sheriff’s office.
The neighbor got home at about 2 p.m., parked the car in the sun and went inside, “claiming to forget about the baby in the car,” the sheriff’s office said.
Around 8:45 p.m., the baby’s dad reached out to the mom, asking when the neighbor was bringing the little boy over, according to the sheriff’s office.
The mother, who was at work, called the neighbor, at which point the neighbor realized the 6-month-old was still in the car, the sheriff’s office said.
The neighbor and the dad pulled the baby out of the car and called 911, authorities said.
