Tragic Death of Toddler in Hot Car Outside South Carolina High School

A 16-month-old toddler died inside a hot car parked outside a South Carolina high school after her mother forgot she was in the vehicle. The child was found in a car seat approximately eight hours later by a passerby who called 911. The coroner believes the toddler died due to heat, with temperatures likely exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) inside the car. The school canceled its Friday night football game and classes on Monday, and police investigators will be conducting interviews and presenting their findings to the county solicitor's office.
