A toddler in Georgia died in a hot car at a Wendy’s drive-thru after his grandmother accidentally forgot that he was in the back seat.
According to DailyMail, Kendrick Engram Jr, three, was found by his uncle at the Wendy’s restaurant on Wynnton Road Sunday. The little boy had been inside the car for about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
He sadly passed due to asphyxiation after being left in the hot car. The temperature that day was 96F, and the lowest 90F.
‘Everyone went in the house except the little boy,’ Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan said. ‘The grandmother went into the bedroom, the other children went into the kitchen area to eat. Then the children were in and out, playing … just like kids do.’
The grandmother didn’t realize he was missing until about three hours later, around 8:15 pm.
