The death of a toddler stuck in the trunk of a car in Centuria, Wisconsin is raising questions over the nature of the responsibility of parents and authorities.

According to i Science Times, the incident can be filed either under murder or negligence. Isaiah Theis was well developed, did not suffer from malnourishment, and was not ill.

An autopsy revealed no sign of trauma or abuse, and the probable cause of death is exposure to high temperatures, as previously noted.

However, the police report shows that upon the child's disappearance on Tuesday, the whole block, including the vehicle, was searched by parents and police officers.

Unfortunately, nobody thought to search the trunk as they believed that the child went off to hide somewhere.

That could be the case, but the car was locked, and authorities have no answer about how he got inside it.
