We have a lot of hot car death stories already this year and this one is a little different. 

A Fort Worth Family is grieving the loss of their three-year-old son. According to the family, the boy climbed into the car parked in the driveway and was in there for at least forty-five minutes. Police are estimating, that is how long the boy was in there for.

The car was inoperable, so the family didn't take him on a trip and leave him in there. The family is guessing the boy was playing in the yard and jumped in the car to play. Then could not get out. The boy was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
