In a separate incident, a three year old girl tragically died in a scorching hot car after her father forgot she was buckled in her car seat in the family driveway.

Little Charlotte Jones was off sick the day her father Scott drove her and her sister to school for the usual drop-off. However, when Scott returned home with his unwell daughter still in the back of their car - he forgot she hadn't been dropped off at school that morning.

Sadly, Scott logged on to work in his home office at the family's Arizona home - where temperatures had reached 98F (36C) - only realising his precious daughter was still in the car when his wife called to check on them four hours later. In heart-wrenching details, mum Angela remembered how her husband's voice fell on the phone when he realised his mistake. Scott immediately dialled 911, but it was too late as their daughter had succumbed to the heat and died in the car.
