Tiny toddler Amillio Gutierrez was rushed inside the ER, pale, with blue lips, blue feet, unconscious, no pulse, and not breathing. A nurse who desperately fought to save his life measured his body temperature at 107F - the highest she had ever seen. Amillio, just one year old, had been left in a hot car for more than two hours while his mother, Maya Hernandez, 20, was getting lip filler sat a spa 127ft away. Paramedics found him foaming at the mouth and convulsing when they arrived at the scene in Bakersfield, California, on June 29 and he was dead within hours.
His two-year-old brother Mateo was only saved when staff plucked him from the 2022 Toyota Corolla hybrid, rushed him inside, and doused him in cold water. Shocking facts of the case were laid out over the first three days of Maya's trial this week, where a jury will decide if her recklessness amounts to murder. 'The body can't survive that, it's impossible, especially for a child,' a pathologist told the court of Amillio's 107F body temperature. Maya left the car running with the air-conditioning on and the boys with snacks and drinks, but tests showed the vehicle automatically shut off after an hour idling. The hot summer day peaked at 101F and experts said the temperature inside the car could have reached 143F.
