An adorable 4-year-old boy is dead after he entered a car on his own and became trapped inside the scorching hot vehicle in Georgia, US.
The Candler County Sheriff’s office said they were called to the Summer Trace Apartments in downtown Atlanta after Kameron Jamel Williams was reported missing by family members at around 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 29.
Sheriff’s officers, with the help of the Metter Police and the 4-year-old’s family, searched rigorously in the sweltering 91-degree heat in hopes of finding the missing boy.
However, the boy was found dead inside the passenger area of a hot car in the apartment complex’s parking lot during the search and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Candler County coroner confirmed that when the boy was found, he was beyond help.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) stated that a preliminary investigation revealed the 4-year-old left his apartment to play outside. A nearby camera shows someone, believed to be Williams, climbing into a car but never getting back out.
The boy’s body was taken to the GBI Coastal Crime Lab Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy to determine his official cause of death.
Metter’s Police Department Captain McKinley Lewis said that no foul play is suspected at this time, but the case remains under active investigation.
