An Italian toddler died from being locked in a baking hot car for eight hours after his dad went to work and forgot he was there, police said. Luca Albanese, who was just 2 years old, was abandoned in the sweltering vehicle in the northern town of Piacenza on Tuesday.

His dad, Andrea, 39, claims he forgot to drop his son at nursery school — instead driving straight to the restaurant where he works as a chef at 8 a.m.

With outside temperatures reaching around 60 degrees. He then allegedly left the young boy in the car — with temperatures said to have it 140 degrees — for his entire shift.

The alarm was only raised at 5 p.m. when the boy's grandfather went to pick him up from nursery and realized he wasn't there. His lifeless body was found in the car.

Investigators think he died of suffocation, reports Corrierre Della Sera.

The father is under formal investigation for manslaughter. Both he and his wife were hospitalized with shock.

An autopsy will be carried out later this week to establish the cause of death.

Really makes you appreciate all you have.

My niece goes to hospital for major eye surgery in a few weeks. Things like this makes me panic and start to freak out.

Poor child and big mistake on the father's part. A hard lesson in life.

Wow, how did he forgot about his son? I don't want to judge him since maybe he has a lot of problems going on and his son death won't help it.

When under stress, reality is mixed up. The things you thought about doing could have been carried out in your mind thus giving you the false impression of completing that quick task.

Also could be a change in routine, the father probably doesnt take his son to day care all the time and with the change, completely forgot.

Poor guy though, the realization that he was the cause of his son's death is gonna be too much for him, lets just hope he doesn't collapse into depression and commits suicide.

I think I would have remembered a baby. Especially since they so worrisome. I'll say a hour of forget-ness. MAybe a little more depending on my sleep or tiredness. Kidding. >_> But that's messed up. I think prison will help this people get through their issues.

You don't forget that your kid is in your car. Especially a two year old. I have two kids and I would never be able to do it they don't stop talking. He should be put on death row so he can never harm another child.

It's not like this is intentional people. OP says right in his/her post that the couple were hospitalized from going into shock.

I think living with the fact that your child died because YOU forgot about him is punishable enough.

That guy honestly has problems, how could you forget that you have your own two year old son in the back of your car? Wtf has the world come to?

Poor kid, rest in peace
