TRAGEDY struck in Thailand this week as a little girl died after being left on a school bus all day, causing her to overheat.

The bus driver believed that he had watched all the children depart the school bus in the morning before he left the car park. He was scheduled to take the kids home at the end of the day, but found Nong’s body when he returned to the vehicle. Upon making the tragic discovery, he alerted school staff, but it was sadly too late for Nong. She was reportedly slumped next to a black backpack and a small cup of water. Local police and doctors from the nearby Phan Thong hospital rushed to the scene but were unable to save her. Both the driver and Nong’s teacher have been charged with “negligence causing thee death of another person.” Most read in News LAWLESS LONDON Moment gang of thugs batter lone woman, 19, as she lay in the street FIND HIM Moment gunman flees after murdering Olivia, as cops reveal 2 guns used in shooting RAGS TO RICHES Inside plush mansion mum bought with £6m accidentally paid into her account COASTER CHAOS Crowds stuck up rollercoaster as carriage breaks down at famous theme park BITTERSWEET Girlfriend of scaffolder killed in trampoline tragedy announces pregnancy MUM'S AGONY My son, 14, died doing the same viral challenge that killed Archie Battersbee If convicted they could face up to a decade behind bars and a 200,000 baht fine (£4,710.93). Her mother Metika Kosonpalangsri says that she was visited by teachers asking if her daughter had “any underlying diseases.” She added that they initially refused to tell her what had happened, but eventually broke the news to her and Nong’s father Thai-anan. The girl’s parents say they sent her to a private school to get the best possible education. The pair are now demanding answers as to how their daughter’s death was allowed to happen. It was reported by local news services that they sent an official letter requesting an investigation to the Ministry of Justice.
