A 4-year-old boy died in Las Vegas after a relative left him locked in a car as temperatures neared 100 degrees Thursday night, officials said.
The Clark County Coroner's Office identified the victim as Seth Franz, though an official cause of death had not been ruled.
Las Vegas police responded to a home on Welter Avenue around 6:30 p.m. Thursday and found Seth had been left inside a car for between two and three hours. He was pronounced dead at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas half an hour later, according to the coroner's office.
An "adult family member" had parked the car in the driveway with the windows up, and accidentally left Seth inside, according to a statement from the Las Vegas Police Department.
