UNITED STATES: A man in Arizona has been booked under murder charges after his two-year-old girl allegedly died due to heat exposure inside the car. The incident took place when the father left the toddler inside the car whose temperature shot up to 42.7 degree Celsius (108.9 Fahrenheit), an investigation into the incident has revealed. 

As per the New York Post, the man, identified as Christopher Scholtes, 37, left the child inside the air conditioned Honda SUV for three hours which was parked outside his home in a town of Arizona's Marana.

Reports say that the father of the two-year-old girl was allegedly busy in videogames while the child was locked inside the hot car.

Sadly, when the toddler's mother, who was not present at home, arrived, she found the child inside the car and was in unresponsive state.
