Bangkok: A three-year-old boy has died after being left inside a private school bus for several hours in sweltering heat, Thai police said on Wednesday, the second such death of a toddler in recent weeks.
Suriyakarn Thakan was found unconscious inside the cab of a pick-up truck which was being used to transport children to a nursery school in northeastern Si Sa Ket province bordering Cambodia on Tuesday afternoon.
"For two hours doctors tried to resuscitate him... but they couldn't," Lieutenant Colonel Thinakorn Dechalert of the local police told AFP by telephone.
Police said the driver of the pick-up has been charged with negligence resulting in the death of another person, while the nursery teacher who owns the vehicle would be questioned by police on Thursday.
She died in intensive care a fortnight later, prompting police to charge a teacher and the bus driver with gross negligence.
