Nobody really at fault, unless you argue that car doors should always be kept locked when you have a toddler. Child-proof inside doors

3-year-old Evan Trapolino, died after he was found in a hot car in north Houston.

A Houston Police Department spokesperson said Trapolino’s death was a tragic accident. He had apparently walked out the front door of his house and to a car parked in the front yard, where detectives say he climbed in the front door, crawled into the back seats and couldn’t get out because of child locks on the doors.

The family called 911 just before 2 p.m. and ambulances rushed him to Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital. Doctors were unable to save him.

Witnesses said he was pale and not moving when he was pulled from the car. Houston Firefighters said he suffered from cardiac arrest.

Neighbors across the street said they heard the boy’s mother scream for help.

“She was screaming and crying for help,” said Marlene Gonzales.
