Hot Car Death-Suicide: Child Dies After Being Left In Vehicle; Father Kills Self

[Sugar Cookie]

Chesterfield police are investigating what they say appears to be the “accidental death of a child and subsequent suicide of an adult.”

Officers responded around noon on Tuesday for a suicidal person and were told there may also be a dead child.

At the scene, police found a car with its door open in the driveway and a deceased 18-month-child inside the home.

Outside the home, they found the child’s father with an apparent gunshot wound in the woods behind the house. Callers indicated that the father may kill himself in the woods behind the home.

Police said the man had left the child in the car, causing the child’s death.

Officials speculate that the boy had been left in the car for at least three hours.

That is so tragic!! Though I'm spacey AF, and it's only gotten worse thanks to the chemo brain, the surgical menopause brain, and the antidepressant brain, I still give a side eye to many of these hot-car deaths. It just seems like a slam-dunk way to murder your child, you know? It's not that people always get away with it, but they sometimes do. That's because it can be hard to prove that it was done deliberately, especially on a day when their morning routine was altered.

However, in this case, I think it was legitimately an accident. I can't imagine he would have killed himself if his child's death had been deliberate, unless he changed his mind after the fact and felt guilt, or maybe had some kind of fugue state incident/psychotic break that caused him to deliberately leave the child in the car, and then he came to his senses.

Aaron and Anderson passed on Tuesday June 28, 2022.

Anderson was born on December 23, 2020 in Midlothian Virginia. He was the first and only child of Laura and Aaron Beck. He was the brightest light that brought his family together and was deeply loved by his parents and surrounding family. He was a beautiful, outgoing, and intelligent little boy that lived in a family that was full of love and promise.

Aaron Tyler Beck was born on August 8, 1984. He was father to Anderson Beck and husband to Laura Beck. He graduated from Bethlehem Center and studied at Drexel University. He fed his curiosity beyond the bounds of school by reading widely and attaining skills on his own. He applied himself diligently to his profession as a draftsman and was meticulous and steadfast in his work. His career was important to him; but it was not the focus of his life. Rather, work was the means that allowed him to pursue his biggest dream: becoming a father and building a family with his wife, Laura.

Aaron loved to be in nature. He spent his youth exploring in the woods, and as an adult he often took camping trips alone with his dog, Miles, or with friends and family members. He balanced his independence with his love for the company of family and good friends, such as the close-knit group that he maintained from his high school and college years. He was respected and loved by his friends, who valued his humbleness, tolerance, and compassion.

In his recent years, his most devoted focus was his son Anderson, to whom he gave enormous and endless love. He was generous, kind, caring, and soft with his son. The selflessness of his love was a testament to the possibilities of fatherhood, to the possibilities of the heart. He sacrificed his life to his son in an act of profound devotion and love. He will be remembered by his family as a generous and loving son, brother, and father, and all who knew him honor the deep love he felt for his wife and his beloved son Anderson.

Anderson's and Aaron's life was interwoven in life and death.
