Infant dies in Upper St. Clair after being left in car for hours
A 3-month-old boy died Thursday after police said he was
left inside a vehicle for several hours in Upper St. Clair.
Allegheny County Police said the infant was found
unresponsive in the vehicle in the 300 block of Fort Couch Road
around 5 p.m.
First responders attempted life-saving
measures to revive the boy, but he was pronounced dead at the
scene, police said.
Police did not identify the boy or
say whether charges would be filed in connection with the
incident. Detectives are investigating.
Anyone with
further information is asked to call the county police tip line
at 1-833-ALL-TIPS (255-8477). Callers can remain anonymous.
Around the time of the incident, the heat index in the
Pittsburgh area was 99 degrees, according to the National
Weather Service. Temperatures inside a vehicle during such
weather can far exceed that, the weather service said.
