A family in Madisonville, Kentucky, has been left devastated after a baby, reportedly conceived through IVF, died after being left in a hot car. The child's grandmother, a doctor, had reportedly relocated closer to her daughter specifically so she could be more involved in her grandchildren's lives, making the tragedy particularly painful for the family.

Limited specific details of the incident are available from the report, though it centres on the child, named Scottie Crowell, and the devastating impact on the extended family, including the grandmother who had prioritised proximity to watch her grandchildren grow up. The case adds to a string of similar hot car deaths reported involving young children in the United States.
