Tragedy in France, two girls aged 2 and 4 found dead in car: "Heat main track"

Two young children, aged two and four years old, were found dead inside their family car in southeastern France, an area experiencing extreme heat. The vehicle was parked in the family garage in Carpentras, approximately 30 kilometers from Avignon. According to French media reports, the children were locked inside the car while their mother went shopping. The mother was rescued by emergency services but has not yet been questioned. Firefighters reported receiving the alarm at 13:20 and found the children in cardiac arrest. Authorities have stated that heat is the main line of investigation into the cause of death. France is currently under red alert for heat in 49 departments, roughly half the country, with meteorological forecasts predicting today to be the hottest day ever recorded in France. Experts note the intensity of this heatwave is comparable to the August 2003 event, which caused nearly 15,000 deaths nationwide.
