Abu Dhabi: A four-year-old boy died of
suffocation and high temperature after his father locked him inside his car and
forgot about him in United Arab
Emirates (UAE), a
media report said on Saturday.
On Friday evening, the child returned home with his father and he thought his
son had already gotten off the car and locked it. The car was parked in front
of their house located in Al Ramsa area in Sharjah.
The
police later claimed they found the boy in car, motionless. He was taken to Al
Qasimi Hospital in Al Khezami where he was pronounced dead, Khaleej Times
reported.
The
Sharjah Police recently warned parents against leaving children locked in cars
with the engines running. A top official said leaving children locked in cars
even for five minutes in the sweltering heat can lead to suffocation, and could
prove fatal.
Last
year, more than five such cases were reported in Sharjah alone.
