Mayor: 2-year-old found in hot car expected to survive
WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — West Haven's mayor says a 2-year-old found with his 4-year-old brother inside a hot car is expected to survive.
The 4-year-old died Thursday at a local hospital.
Police say they were called to the scene at a local apartment complex at about 3 p.m. Thursday by the boys' father. No one has been charged, but police say their investigation is ongoing.
Mayor Nancy Rossi says the 2-year-old, who was unconscious when taken to the hospital, is now responsive.
Police say the outside temperature was about 80 degrees, which could a heat the inside of a car to 100 degrees within 10 minutes.
