Netivot toddler dies after being left in car

A four-year-old boy from the Negev city of Netivot died this afternoon after his parents accidentally left him in the family car.

The boy was discovered alive and rushed to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, but was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.

A neighbor who rushed to the scene after hearing the mother screaming, said the parents couldn’t immediately call paramedics because of poor cell service.

Temperatures in the Negev city reached a high of 33°C (92℉) today.
