A baby dies from high temperatures inside a car. How can it happen in winter?

It would seem that it is an exclusive matter of the summer season, but we were surprised by news in the middle of winter, because a baby has died inside a car due to the high temperature it reached. When we know that the baby was about five hours locked inside the vehicle and with the heating on, apart from being horrified, we understand it better.

It has happened in the United States, in Walker County, Georgia, and it was the creature's grandmother who left the baby inside the car while visiting friends. We do not know if the visit was longer than I imagined at first, but in any case, when returning to the car five hours later the baby had died from hyperthermia.

The car was exposed to direct sunlight and we already know that, even in winter, this causes the interior of a vehicle to rapidly increase in temperature. In addition, to this is added the fact that it left the heating on, although low. The American media that have given the news indicate that the day that happened the events were about 11 degrees Celsius on the outside of the car and inside sure that they exceeded 38 quickly.

Under these conditions, probably with the baby warm, the body quickly reaches 40 degreesWhen the internal organs begin to fail and when they reach 42 degrees the human body cannot resist much more.

It is known that the interior temperature of the car can increase from 10 to 15 degrees in the sun in just 15 minutes, also in winter, while the body temperature of a child between four and four years increases 3 to 5 times faster than in the adult Then, a heat stroke soon happens and what is known as hyperthermia, a serious disorder that usually occurs in less than 20 minutes and causes death in two hours.

The grandmother is detained for her imprudence that is so complicated to understand and more when cases of this type are often heard in the media. Perhaps, the fact that it is winter did not make her worry too much, perhaps she did not want to wake the baby when she came to visit friends ... But how can she spend so many hours without going out to see how the baby was, no matter how much Did you see it from the window?

Witnesses say they asked the grandmother to go see the baby and she approached the car on occasion, but without opening the door and speculate that, perhaps, the woman for some reason incomprehensible realized that the baby I was no longer breathing and didn't want to say anything and continue the visit. That said, incomprehensible.

We remind you with this video corresponding to a campaign conducted in the US the dangers of leaving children locked in the car, in summer and winter. Never do it!
