A three-year-old boy died after his mum “forgot” he was in the back of her car and left him unattended for several hours in 80F heat to go to work.
The youngster is said to have been left alone in the vehicle for six hours before anyone realised. The tragedy happened yesterday in the municipality of O Porrino, near the city of Pontevedra, in Spain’s northwest Galician region.
The town hall announced overnight it was declaring three days of mourning and held a minute’s silence at midday today. A local festival was also suspended following the tragic news.
