A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Necropolis, Goais state, Brazil, when a two-year-old boy, Salomao Rodrigues Faustino, lost his life from severe heatstroke after being left strapped in a locked car. The incident, which occurred on February 18, has left the local community in deep shock and raised serious concerns about child safety during extreme weather conditions.

Salomao, secured in his baby seat and rendered immobile, was trapped inside a vehicle exposed to blistering conditions as temperatures soared to 32°C outside. With all the windows and doors firmly closed, experts believe the internal temperature of the car could have reached nearly 60°C during the four hours he remained inside.
