A two-year-old boy dies after being left unattended in a car for hours in Valls.
The SEM has tried to revive the minor without success.

Valles / BarcelonaA two-year-old boy has died inside a car parked in front of an industrial warehouse in Valls, in the Alt Camp district. The Generalitat Fire Department received a call between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. from a worker who had seen the child locked inside a company building on Calle de los Manyans, in the Valls industrial estate. When the Fire Department arrived, the father, who was eating a few meters away, had already taken the child out of the vehicle and into an air-conditioned space.
When the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived, they attempted to revive the child, without success. The EMS is now also offering psychological support to the father and mother. According to police sources, the father is unable to testify because he is in shock, and has not been arrested. Initial hypotheses suggest that he may have forgotten the child inside the vehicle when he went to work, around 10:00 a.m. Therefore, the child would have been locked inside the car for about five hours. At midday, the temperature in Valls was around 36 degrees.
A worker from the same industrial estate who knows the family told the newspaper ARA that the boy is the son of the owner of the company Fervalls, which rents construction machinery. "He's a very responsible boy. I can't explain it. I suppose it was a change in routine or something like that," he says. The vehicle was parked at the front of the industrial estate, within the company grounds, and a worker raised the alarm. She called the emergency services, but also her father, who was eating at a restaurant a few meters away and rushed over.
At this point, the exact cause of death is still unknown, and an autopsy will determine it. The Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) have opened an investigation and hope the father will be able to testify in the coming hours to clarify the facts.
