A 2 ½-year-old boy was found dead inside a locked vehicle Friday afternoon in London.
Madison Nose was found inside a Suzuki SUV with the windows rolled up about 4:30 p.m. The vehicle was parked in a parking lot near St. Joseph’s Hospital.
It appears as though the boy’s grandmother, who has not been identified, forgot to take him to day care and went to work at the hospital. The child was left in the back seat of the vehicle all day. He died of hyperthermia, Laurel County Coroner Douglas Bowling said.
Temperatures were in the low 80s in London on Friday. It likely was much hotter in the vehicle, Bowling said, but he could not say how hot.
Police took the woman into custody, but it was not clear whether she would face charges, Bowling said.
