A TODDLER has died after being “forgotten” inside a car in Spain -amid a horror heatwave which has reached highs of 35 degrees.
The boy, believed to be aged around two, was left inside his dad’s car on an industrial estate in the Costa Dorada town of Valls near the east coast city of Tarragona.

The alarm was raised around 3pm on Tuesday afternoon before firefighters rushed to the vehicle.
When they arrived, they found the youngster’s dad beside the child with the car door already open.
They tried to revive him with help from emergency medical responders who arrived soon after.
The responders practised CPR on the toddler before discovering he had gone into cardiac arrest.
Efforts to save his life were unsuccessful – and he was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
A police probe into the horror accident has been launched.
It is unclear if any arrests have been made yet, but police questioned the parent shortly after the ordeal.
Police sources said the toddler’s dad had arrived for work at around 9am and allegedly forgot the child in his seat in the back of his car, the Daily Mail reported.
A horrified colleague is believed to have alerted the dad around six hours later – after passing by the car on the industrial estate and spotting the child inside.
