Two children, aged two and four, were found dead in their family's car in southeastern France Monday as temperatures soared across large parts of the country, the local prosecutor said.
"The causes of death are yet to be determined, but the heatwave is the leading line of inquiry," said Helene Mourges, the prosecutor in the town of Carpentras, where temperatures had been forecast to reach a maximum of 39C.
