FOG BLOG CANADA NEWS LOG: ONTARIO TEACHER LEAVES TODDLER IN CAR AND GOES INTO CLASS TO TEACH!

Child dies after being left in hot car while mother taught at Ontario high school, mayor says An Ontario community is reeling after a 23-month-old boy died when he was accidentally left in a hot car outside the school where his mother taught, the mayor says.

Bancroft, Ont. Mayor Paul Jenkins, a close family friend who has known the family for 30 years, said Everett Smith died on Thursday despite multiple attempts to revive him by teachers and emergency crews at North Hastings High School.

Everett's mother is a teacher at the school, Jenkins said. According to the mayor, the mother was supposed to drop her son off at daycare on the way to work.

Jenkins said no one noticed Everett was still in the car until the end of the school day. Most of southern Ontario was under a heat warning that day, with temperatures reaching into the 30s. The maximum temperature recorded that day in Bancroft was 27.1 degrees. OPP was called to the school at 3:45 p.m. for a child found with no vital signs. Police said the child was transported to hospital by ambulance, but was pronounced dead shortly after.

Everett’s grandfather, Wayne Lord, told CTV News Toronto Monday something stressful had happened to his daughter the day earlier and that dropping off Everett wasn't a part of her daily routine.

The OPP said an investigation into the death is ongoing.

"This is a tragic situation. We are still in the early stages of the investigation which is in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario," the OPP said in a statement Monday.

"We are aware of the information that is circulating, however we are not in a position to comment at this time, nor will we speculate as to why or how this happened."
