A one-year-old child died Thursday after being left in a hot vehicle in Danielsville, Georgia, authorities said, bringing the number of reported heat-related vehicle deaths of children this year to at least eight.

The latest tragedy appears attributable"to the high temperatures inside the vehicle," according to Madison County Sheriff's Office Capt. Jimmy Patton."All signs and information so far point to this being accidental," Patton said via email.The death occurred just days after a 3-year-old boy who was left in a hot car for nearly three hours in southern Georgia died last weekend, authorities said.

, Kendrick's uncle used the SUV to drive to a Wendy's restaurant and was unaware the boy was in the back seat, according to the report. He parked the vehicle and went inside, where he later got a phone call from Kendrick's grandmother asking if he had seen him.The uncle found Kendrick in the car with"foam and blood coming from his mouth" and called for emergency medical assistance, which arrived two minutes after the call, the report said.

The Next James Bond Movie Will Be a ‘Reinvention’ of 007Who’s ready for yet another James Bond reboot? Reinventing bond scares me. No thank you!! Just bc NTTD grossed almost $800m at the global box office, it doesn’t mean that audiences will watch a reboot so soon. The studio needs to let the franchise sit for a few years. No shame in that.
