'A
tragedy': Heat likely killed York County boy found in closed car
A 4-year-old boy who was found dead inside a
car in East Manchester Township likely died because of the heat,
Northeastern Regional Police Chief Bryan Rizzo said.
"Heat was probably a factor," Rizzo said. "It was over 90
degrees when we were dispatched."
Dameon Erb was found
unresponsive in a family member's closed car parked at the
child's home in East Manchester Township, police said. His
family looked for him after noticing he was missing.
"It
is a tragedy to see children and pets being victims of hot
vehicles, whether it's accidental or neglect," Rizzo said. "We
all have to be cognizant because the heat can overtake them
pretty quickly."
