Two-Year-Old Boy BAKED To Death After Dad DUMPS Him In Room With Space Heater On For 12 HOURS

It’s truly heartbreaking to hear about the loss of a two-year-old boy in such devastating circumstances.

The child’s father now faces charges following the sorrowful incident where he allegedly left his young son in a room with a space heater running for nearly 15 hours.

On a chilly morning on December 2, deputies arrived after receiving a 911 call and found little River Carter tragically lifeless at his home.

The incident happened in a small, peaceful town nestled between Fayetteville and Charlotte. It was reported that the temperature in the room had risen beyond 100 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the officials present at the site.

Investigators revealed the child endured over 12 hours in those extreme temperatures due to the heated environment from the space heater.

This dreadful situation culminated in his tragic passing, the authorities confirmed. The official cause of death has been stated as hypernatremic dehydration, a direct result of significant heat exposure from the hazardous conditions he was left in.

In related documents, it was noted the father had put the little boy to bed around 3 PM after noticing symptoms of a cold, a cough, and a mild fever.

Checking on his child just two hours later, he decided to turn off the central air system and opted to use space heaters instead, intending to conserve energy. Sadly, this decision led to a grave outcome.
