Authorities say a 2-year-old child who died in southeastern Kansas had woken up from a nap, unlocked the home's front door and gotten into the family vehicle. Investigators say the mother found the child unconscious Tuesday. The child was transported to a hospital where he died. KSN News reports that Cowley County Sheriff David Falletti says a preliminary autopsy finding determined the child died due to extreme heat exposure. The sheriff says the investigation is over. Most of Kansas has been under a heat advisory all week.
