Medical personnel estimated that the boy’s body temperature reached 111 degrees while left alone in the truck, the sheriff’s office said.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Authorities in Central Florida have detained a man following the tragic death of his 18-month-old son, who succumbed to the heat after being left unattended in a vehicle for several hours one June afternoon, as reported by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.

According to deputies, 33-year-old Scott Allen Gardner abandoned his young son, Sebastian, in a scorching truck for more than three hours while he went for a haircut and then visited Hanky Panky’s Lounge in Ormond Beach on Friday, June 6.

The sheriff’s office published Gardner’s arrest video on social media.

Medical assessments indicated that the temperature inside the vehicle soared to 111 degrees during the time Sebastian was left alone, the sheriff’s office reported. Nurses revealed that his body temperature exceeded 107. 

Gardner was located and arrested at his mother’s home in Ormond Beach. The same officer who attempted to revive Sebastian when he was found was the officer who handcuffed Gardner on Thursday.
