An adorable toddler died two days before his second birthday after he was left in a hot car by his foster father for over eight hours, according to police.
Hudley Owen Hamlett was found unresponsive on Thursday after his legal guardian, Brian Dalton, left him in a hot car while he went to work in Virginia, officials said.
The tragedy was uncovered when Dalton arrived at the Chestnut Academy day care at about 3.30pm to pick Hudley up but was informed the toddler had not been dropped off that day.
That's when Hudley was discovered strapped in the back of the vehicle Dalton had driven to work that morning.
Dalton had left the boy in his car as he worked an eight-hour shift and did not realize it until he went to the daycare in the afternoon, according to officials.
