A 10-month-old child apparently left by mistake in a vehicle for 30 to 45 minutes in 95-degree heat died. The infant along with her mother, father, two siblings, and a grandmother had returned to their home in the Asbury community from shopping. After unloading the children and packages, the child was apparently left in the vehicle as each of the adults thought the other had gotten the baby. The child was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital.

The people who died

As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
