Toddler dies after being left in hot car for five hours
Doctors at Ancona’s Salesi paediatric hospital on the Adriatic coast declared the 22-month-old brain dead late on Saturday, three days after her father returned from his university teaching job to find her barely breathing.
The child, Elena, had surgery to relieve swelling on the brain, but doctors said it was too extensive to save her. An autopsy is planned for tomorrow.
