A 3-year-old died Monday after being left inside a vehicle by his father outside a Jewish education center in northern Miami-Dade County, Florida, the Miami Gardens Police Department said.
The death is the 10th pediatric vehicular heatstroke death in the United States this year, according to NoHeatStroke.org, a website run by a San Jose State University lecturer that tracks hot car deaths. More than 900 have occurred since 1998 -- or 38 per year, on average, the site states, noting: "All of these deaths could have been prevented."
The high temperature Monday in northern Miami-Dade reached 93 degrees, with a heat index of 103, as very hot temperatures this week have baked the Southeast.
