Kitakyushu infant left in car; parents sent to prosecutors on suspicion of causing death due to gross negligence. Last August, a 10-month-old boy died after being left in a car in the hot sun for about two and a half hours.
Police recreated the same situation and found that the temperature inside the car reached 49.5 degrees. According to police, the boy's child seat was placed in the back seat with the front facing the window, making it difficult to see the boy.
