Authorities believe he died of heatstroke after being trapped inside the car for more than 12 hours. <\/p>\n

According to reports, his mother returned from a party after midnight, went inside and slept. <\/p>\n

She forgot that he was still strapped into his car seat as the temperature rose rapidly the next day.<\/p>\n

Emergency services were called to Capellania Avenue in La Rioja Residential at around 1:30 pm after a woman raised the alarm. <\/p>\n

When officers arrived, they found a woman carrying Vicente, and claimed he was unresponsive. <\/p>\n

Paramedics arrived at the scene where they confirmed there were no signs of life.<\/p>\n

Forensic experts later determined that Vicente had suffered severe heatstroke. <\/p>\n

Burn marks were found on his hands and feet, which were caused by exposure to hot surfaces and extreme temperatures inside the car. <\/p>\n

Cesar Gonzalez Vaca, head of the Forensic Medical Service, said the autopsy found no signs of physical violence.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe the boy may have died between 9 and 10 a.m., as the temperature rose above 33 degrees Celsius. <\/p>\n

He was described as being of a healthy weight and size for his age.<\/p>\n

The boy’s father later claimed on social media that Vicente had been forgotten while his mother was under the influence of alcohol. <\/p>\n

Officials have not confirmed these details.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors from the Baja California State Attorney General’s Office have begun an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.<\/p>\n

Locals have called for an investigation into the matter as a possible case of neglect.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that a child has died after being left in a vehicle unattended.<\/p>\n

In June, a one-year-old boy died after his mother left him in a scorching hot car while she got fillers in his lips. <\/p>\n

Maya Hernandez, 20, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors. <\/p>\n

She will spend a maximum of 15 years in prison after the first-degree murder charge was changed to involuntary manslaughter. <\/p>\n

Hernandez left her two children in 46 degrees Celsius for more than two hours while she received cosmetic injections.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
