He travelled to Adana, Turkey with his wife Hiba Alheraki, 28, and their son for a wedding when tragedy struck.
Little Badr Alddin Malahafji had fallen asleep in the car after opting to join his father to visit his brother.
Sifeddin said he parked in the shade and left the window slightly open as he went to see his brother who had business in the city centre.
He told authorities: “When I went to leave the house my son ran after me crying because he wanted to come with me.

“I parked in the shade and went to visit my brother at his workplace. I just didn’t want to wake him up and left the windows open a little bit.”
Despite thinking he had taken all necessary precautions, he returned thirty minutes later to find his son unresponsive.
Tragically hospital medics were unable to save the toddler, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Forecasts from the day suggest the boy was subjected to scorching 37C heat after the sun moved onto the car.

Sifeddin told police: “When I returned half an hour later, I saw that he was unconscious. We called the medics admitted into hospital, but he was already dead.”
The distraught couple were later taken to provide a statement before returning home.
An autopsy was later performed on the young tot to confirm the cause of death.
Local media reports that Sifeddin burst into tears and collapsed to the floor when the boy’s body was eventually returned to the family.
The devastated father said: “May God not let anyone experience this pain. It is a very sad situation. The father goes to his brother. When he returns half an hour or at the latest an hour later, he sees his son lying motionless.
“Something that could happen to anyone. The windows were open, they were not closed. But it happened because the weather was hot.”
DEADLY EFFECTS
The Sun previously revealed that it can take less than half an hour for the effects to kick in when left in sweltering car.
Even if it’s a cloudy day, sweating and thirst can start within 45 minutes.
Experiments show that even on a cooler summer day, temperatures inside a closed vehicle can quickly exceed 125°F (about 52°C) – just off the world record for the hottest temperature ever recorded of 56’C in Death Valley, California.
The cabin of a car can become 20’C hotter than the temperature outside, even on cool and cloudy days, as a result of the greenhouse effect.
As the car becomes an oven, the longer you leave a child, the more at risk they become from severe health issues.
When you spend some time in a high temperature, your body’s thermoregulatory efficiency decreases while body temperature starts to rise.
The body is in a state of hyperthermia, as it absorbs more heat than it dissipates.
It is especially dangerous when body temperature is higher than 40C (compared to the normal 36-37C).
Such a situation is known medically as heat illness, which may cause heat stroke – dizziness, confusion and seizures.

It came as stats show an average of 38 children die as a result of being left in a car every year in the UK.
Most are under the age of two.

It read: “Over the last few days, I have had a lot of time to think about my behaviour and how it affects people around me.
“As it has been well documented I have always had my struggles with alcohol and often say or do silly things as a results of that, which in turn has caused problems for myself and those around me.
“For that I want to apologise to everyone I have upset or offended.”

Lee continued: “Last week, I acted inappropriately on a flight to London and I want to say sorry to the airline staff, everyone on the flight, as well as my band mates, my family and our fans.
“The time has come for me to take ownership of the root cause of these problems and for that reason I am reducing my schedule for the time being to seek professional help and spend time with my family.
“I am aware of how my behaviour affects others and by starting this journey of working on my mental health I hope to emerge a better person for it.”
He concluded: “Thank you to everyone that has sent me messages of support and I am sorry to everyone I have let down.”
The singer – who is a dad of three – signed off the statement: “Lee x.”

‘Send Help’ creator Jean Elie shares how the series is a perfect blend of LA and immigrant culture, and advice Issa Rae gave him
If you loved Insecure, we’re certain that you’ll love AllBlk’s new freshman dramedy Send Help. The series stars Jean Elie who plays Fritz Jean-Baptiste, a first-generation Haitian American actor who feels unstoppable since landing a starring role on fictional hit TV show, This Can’t Be Us. While basking in his newfound success, Baptiste must also balance a demanding Haitian family, an unfortunate loss from his past, and an unexpected change that shakes up his career.
The show also stars Catfish Jean, Amin Joseph, and fellow Insecure alum Courtney Taylor who serves as a support system for Elie’s character. Elie not only stars in the series, he also serves as the showrunner and is the co-creator alongside Mike Gauyo, who also serves as the executive producer on the show and was a writer on Insecure.
Mashable caught up with Gauyo and Elie, who spoke about the series, the significance of Haitian representation onscreen, and an embarrassing moment they can laugh at now.
Mashable: Let’s chat about your character [Jean Elie] and how he’s dealing with a terrible crisis… how do you handle sudden changes and did you apply any real life experiences to the character for development?
Elie: I’ve applied some, but my character is an older version of me — a beta version. We draw real life experiences in some ways, but we also lean on the writers room in order to elevate it to get it to where it’s at right now.It’s, it’s a mixture of who I once was and who I am. [Fritz] is a very flawed character, but he’s also trying to do right by everybody else and even if he’s not doing it the right way or how people will typically go about things. Fritz is just trying to be a better person, but not knowing exactly how to be a better person because that guidance he usually had is no longer there.
Mashable: The show has a feel like Insecure in terms of cinematography and wittiness…. For the formula for Send Help, what do you think makes the show stand out with its own flare and recipes for success? Any similarities in the story you see similar like Insecure?
Gauyo: Oh that’s really good — I like that question. What we tried to pay attention to is how many shows have been centered around an actor or behind the scenes of the entertainment world type of show — what makes this story different is it follows a Haitian-American actor and we’re able to dive into his culture in a way we’ve never been able to dive in before. It’s being told through [Fritz] lens and you’re able to gain a new, fresh perspective. I will say there are similarities between our show and [Insecure] in terms of both shows being based in LA and showing LA’s culture. Something Insecure did that was brilliant is it showed Black culture in LA and all the things that exist there. For [Send Help], we wanted to express was immigrant Black culture in LA and what that looks like. It was very important for us to have a different way of expressing different facets of LA and Black culture, particularly Haitian culture that you don’t see often on television. So, I will say there’s definitely a formula but with our own twist to it to give it a little bit of Caribbean flavor.
Mashable: Is there any advice Issa Rae shared with you both during the development of the series?
Elie: Take your time and keep in mind that this series is ours so do it the way you want to do it and be unapologetic about it.
Mashable: Let our readers know the importance of telling the story of a first-generation Haitian American and his family?
Elie: It was super important for me to tell this story because there’s a slew of Haitian-American children that aren’t privy on how to break into an industry like entertainment or do something out of the scope of what their family has envisioned for them — and then what it looks like when on that side. A lot of people assume you’re being supported due to your success and don’t even realize your family doesn’t have a clue what you’re doing because it’s not something they are used to or working comprehend. One of the greatest things I was able to do and loved while creating this show was being able to bring my mom to set and for her to get the experience of what it’s like which also changed the narrative for her. This allows her to show the other children in our family to let them know her son does this and this is what it looks like and how it may look if their children decided to pursue the same passion. It’s also very important for me to see myself represented onscreen or see other characters I can relate to that are not necessarily shown. You usually see Haitian-American characters in smaller roles or caricatures on what it means to be Haitian. In this show, you’re able to see a young Haitian man coming into his own in a relatable way. The only difference between [Fritz] and a viewer is they may speak different languages which one can learn. You’ll see how beautiful it is.
Experience LA and Haitian culture in this new, exciting dramedy Send Help which premieres on AllBlk on August 11th.
