Toddler Tragically Dies 3 Hours After Being Forgotten In Hot Car By Babysitter

A two-year-old boy has tragically died after he was accidentally left inside a hot car for three hours by his babysitter, who has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Arthur Oliveira dos Santos was being looked after by babysitter Glaucia Aparecida Luiz, 35, who reportedly ran an “unauthorised daycare centre” in her home in Sao Paulo, Brazil, police said.

The toddler was left in a boiling hot car outside the suspect’s home for three hours, according to police statements.

Arthur was tragically forgotten about and spent the afternoon in the car under the scorching sun, Brazilian news outlet G1 reports.

Police say the suspect and her daughter took care of more than 10 children in their home and described it as an “irregular daycare centre”.

Officers rushed to the scene after the boy was discovered.

The tragic toddler sped to hospital but he was confirmed dead on arrival.

It is thought the tot died of suffocation and dehydration, but an autopsy to confirm the exact cause of death will be taking place soon.
