TL;DR Summary

A 1-year-old girl in New York died after being left in a hot car for eight hours by her grandmother, who forgot to drop her off at daycare before going to work. The toddler was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital. This incident is currently under investigation, and it is unclear if charges will be filed. This marks the 15th child death in a hot vehicle this year.
