Name: Logan Starling.
Died: September 28, 2018.
Age at death: 4.
Cause of death: Neglect.
Location: Orlando, Florida, USA.
Disability: Autism.
Details:
Logan’s father remembers him as “my little Logo on the go go”, a hyperactive child who would hop around like a kangaroo. He liked watching the SunRail trains and pretending they were Thomas the Tank Engine. He went to school in a pre-K class.
Logan’s father’s fiance left him locked inside her van on a hot day in Florida, parked outside the school. He died of heat stroke and wasn’t found until 2:30 in the afternoon.
Logan’s great-aunt says that Logan was not the sort of quiet child who could be forgotten in a van by accident; if he wasn’t there, you would notice it.
Perpetrator: Mariah Butler (Father’s girlfriend), charged with manslaughter.
