Boy, 5, dies in hot car after being left for up to 3 hours by mum preparing party

A five-year-old boy died in a hot car after mistakenly being left for up to three hours by his mum, it is claimed.

The mother had rushed home as she prepared for the birthday party of another child, an eight-year-old girl, and is believed to have not realised the boy was still in the car on Monday afternoon.

It was only after two or three hours that she noticed the five-year-old was missing and she made the tragic discovery of the boy in the car, said Texas police.
