Mebane (US), July 2
A one-year-old North Carolina child died on Friday after being left inside a hot car by the father after he went to work, police said.
The Mebane Police Department said officers responded to a call from a manufacturing plant after 12.20 pm following a report of someone in cardiac arrest, according to local news outlets.
When the officers arrived, CPR was being administered, but the youngster couldn’t be revived, police said.
