A 2-year-old girl is dead after being left in a hot car in her family’s own driveway. A volunteer firefighter who lived across the street was desperately trying to save a child’s life by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Despite heroic efforts, the little girl could not be revived. Published reports identified the grieving mother as 38-year-old Beatrice Lechard.

Police say his youngest daughter spent seven hours in a gray Honda Civic.
