A 3-year-old girl, Ily Elizabeth Ruiz, died after her mother, Sandra Hernandez, allegedly locked them both in a car during a 104-degree heat wave in California on September 6. When officials arrived, both were unconscious; Ily was pronounced dead at the hospital despite CPR administered by a family member. Hernandez, 41, has been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and felony child neglect. The exact duration they were in the vehicle is unknown, but police do not believe it was a murder-suicide attempt. A GoFundMe has been set up for Ily’s funeral expenses, and family members are struggling to cope with the loss.
