Child deaths in hot cars can happen fast, as the sun's rays cause the insides of cars to heat up quickly. The temperature in the car parked in Santee would have risen to about 111 degrees within 30 minutes and to 120 degrees within an hour.
Even when outdoor temperatures are in the 60s, children left in cars can die from heat stroke. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the urgency to never leave children unattended in vehicles.
