Vanderburgh County Coroner Steven Lockyear says the victim in Tuesday’s hot car accident has been identified as 3-year-old Oliver Dill. Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding says the child attended the University’s daycare and his father, Dr. Andrew Dill, left the child in the car for several hours by accident.
The father is an Assistant Professor of Accounting at USI. His son is typically dropped off at the daycare located on USI’s campus.
Authorities say after working for hours, Dr. Dill realized he left his toddler in the back seat, buckled in his car seat.
“The parent found the child, went to the Children’s Learning Center where the parent asked for help and the child later died,” says Major Jason Ashworth from the Vanderburgh Sheriff’s Office.
Many people say accidents like these should never happen.
“This is like the second time this has happened so far close to home and it angers me,” says concerned grandmother, Tina Walker.
Chief Meteorologist Cameron Hopman says temperatures nearly reached 90 degrees before the little boy was found.
“That baby had to be crying, screaming, suffering,” says Walker
According to the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s office, no arrests are being made at this time. The official case file will be submitted to the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s office for final review.
