MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — A 3-year-old boy has died after being left in a car outside a South Florida preschool where both his parents were employees, police said.
The child is one of several children from the same family who attend the Lubavitch Education Center in Miami Gardens, the Miami Herald reported.
Temperatures outside were in the mid 90s Fahrenheit. The unresponsive child was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The boy’s father was being questioned by police late Monday, the Herald reported.
“This tragedy hits close to home and many in our school community are affected by it. No words can describe the heartache and sadness we feel,” Rabbi Bentzion Korf, the center’s dean, said in a brief statement released late Monday.
Korff said a therapist and grief counselor will be available for staff and students at the center on Tuesday.
