SCOTLAND
COUNTY, N.C. (WPDE) — A two-year-old child has died
after the boy was found last Thursday inside an unlocked
car on his family's property on Graham Road in Scotland
County, according to Cpt. Randy Dover with the Scotland
County Sheriff's Office.
Dover said the boy had
been in the hospital for one week.
He added at
the time of the incident the child was breathing on his
own when he left the scene with paramedics.
However, he remained in critical condition, according to
Dover.
Dover said the child had gone missing, but
they were not sure for how long.
The boy, Dover
said, was able to get inside an unlocked car and that's
where he was found.
The investigation is ongoing.
