Had fallen asleep
Frenchman left grandchild in overheated car – dead!
A man from the southern French town of La Palme is being investigated for involuntary manslaughter after he left his two-year-old granddaughter in an overheated car and she died. The highest heat warning level is currently in force in many regions of the country (see video above).
As the newspaper "Le Parisien" reports, citing the fire department, the grandfather left the girl alone in his car after the child fell asleep during a drive on Sunday afternoon. The grandfather went to his home in the village of La Palme near Narbonne to look after two other children. When he went to check on them later, he discovered that the girl was no longer breathing.
The man, who had worked as a volunteer firefighter for 40 years, tried to resuscitate the child until the emergency services arrived. However, medics flown in by helicopter were only able to determine that the girl had died.
Grandfather in police custody
An autopsy is now to clarify the cause of death. The grandfather and mother of the deceased were questioned by the police. The grandfather was charged with involuntary manslaughter and taken into police custody. It had been 32 degrees Celsius in the region at the time.
