Boy, 4, dies after falling asleep in family car as temperatures hit 40C in Turkey

A four-year-old boy named Muhammed Aras Temel died after falling asleep in his family's car in southern Turkey, where temperatures reached 40°C. The child suffered a seizure while inside the vehicle, which had a door open, and was taken to hospital but could not be saved. The incident occurred in the village of Ekinciler, Mardin, and authorities are investigating how the tragedy unfolded. The case highlights the dangers of extreme heat, as Turkey experienced record-breaking temperatures this summer, including a 46.1°C reading in Antalya. Similar incidents have occurred in Europe and the U.S., such as the deaths of two young brothers in France who were found unresponsive in a parked car.
