Parents forgot the girl due to ‘stress’ about the funeral they were attending LONDON: A 4-year-old Iranian girl has died after her parents left her in their car for hours while they attended a funeral service, local government officials reported. The child, whose forename Sadia has been released, traveled with her family to Ramhormoz, a city in the east of the country, as temperatures hit 49 degrees Celsius. Her parents allegedly left her in the car for the entire service because she fell asleep on the way to the funeral. Local media reported that they forgot about her because they were “stressed” about the funeral. Dr. Gholamreza Haidarnejad, from the city’s forensics department, said Sadia died from heat stroke and suffocation, which was complicated by stress. A police investigation has been launched.
