Intoxicated Florida Couple Leaves Toddler in Hot Car Overnight, Causing Fatal Hyperthermia

Florida couple attended a Fourth of July party, consumed alcohol and drugs, and accidentally left their 18-month-old daughter in the car overnight.
The toddler was found unresponsive in the car the next morning with a core body temperature of 104.4 degrees Fahrenheit and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Autopsy results determined the cause of death was hyperthermia and dehydration from exposure to extreme heat in the vehicle.
The parents tested positive for alcohol, marijuana, and methamphetamines and have been charged with aggravated manslaughter.
This was the tenth child death due to pediatric vehicular hyperthermia in the U.S. this year according to child safety organization KidsAndCars.org.
