The child's father believed he was sleeping, and the boy was unable to exit the vehicle due to the child lock, leading to his unconscious discovery by parents. Paris experienced temperatures exceeding 40C for the first time in 150 years, contributing to a series of heat-related fatalities across Europe, including two other young children found in a car. French authorities have activated the highest level of health services mobilisation and are urging citizens, particularly those aged 50-70, to take precautions against the deadly heat. The heatwave, caused by an Omega block weather pattern and intensified by climate change, is expected to ease but authorities warn of a strong probability of extreme heat returning in early July.
