Toddler found in abandoned car; calls for mom before dying
Police in Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) have launched an investigation into the death of a four-year-old child who was found in an abandoned car on Tuesday.
Dead is Kamal Ramsammy. Reports are that the child’s mother, who had to work the night shift on Monday evening at a popular hotel and bar in Mahdia, left him in the care of his grandmother.
Guyana Times was told that when the mother returned home from work around 10:30h on Tuesday, she enquired whether the child had been sent to school.
It was then that family members in the house realised that the child was missing. This led to a search of the area and young Ramsammy was found in a car.
He was pulled from the vehicle in an unconscious state and taken to the Mahdia Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him. A relative told this publication that the child temporarily became responsive and called for his mom, but then died.
Police have since launched an investigation.
