A 9-month-old child has died after being left in a car by the child’s grandmother for nearly eight hours in what authorities are investigating as a heat-related death.

The incident occurred in Beeville, Texas, some 100 miles southeast of San Antonio, on Wednesday when the Beeville Police Department said a child was found unresponsive at approximately 4 p.m. in the child safety seat of their grandmother’s car, according to a statement from the Beeville Police Department.

    My parents Volvo has a similar feature. I don’t know if it’s related to the doors or if there are pressure sensors in the back seat.

    The downside is that goddamn thing is so over engineered that it gives dings and warnings for everything so after a short time they become white noise
