6-month-old boy dies in hot car after parent forgot to drop him off at day care: Sheriff.

A 6-month-old boy died after being left for hours in a hot car in Louisiana, authorities said.

The baby was found dead in the backseat by his parent at about 5:46 p.m. Tuesday, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

The coroner will conduct an autopsy to determine how long the baby was in the car, according to the sheriff's office.

At least 16 children have died in hot cars across the U.S. so far this year, according to national nonprofit KidsAndCars.org. »
