Summary
A 5-year-old boy from a Chabad family in Lod died Sunday after rescuers found him unconscious in a car and rushed him to Assaf Harofeh Hospital in critical condition.
Magen David Adom crews said he had no pulse and was not breathing, showing signs of severe heatstroke, and underwent prolonged advanced resuscitation during transport.
Earlier reports said the child had been left in the family car for about two hours before his father found him; police are investigating the circumstances.
United Hatzalah and other responders used the case to renew warnings that temperatures inside closed vehicles rise rapidly and children should never be left unattended.
