JOHOR BARU: A five-year-old boy died after his mother accidentally left him in the back seat of her car for several hours.
Apparently,
the teacher in her 40s left her house at around 7am to send her son to
the kindergarten near their house in Taman Perling here on Tuesday
before heading to school.
However, she decided to rush to school first to settle some work-related matters.
She is said to have lost track of time and only remembered more than five hours later that she had left her sleeping son in the car.
When she rushed to her car at around 1.30pm, she found him lying unconscious.
The teacher rushed the boy to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
Small groups of friends and relatives, as well as the teacher's colleagues, were seen visiting the family at their house from 1pm.
By 3pm, the whole road leading to their house was lined with cars and the crowd had swelled, with many forced to stand outside the gate.
The boy will be cremated at the Kebun Teh Hindu crematorium today.
A police source said the case had been classified as sudden death.
