The Jefferson County coroner’s office says the death of a boy found inside a parked car outside Gutermuth Elementary School on a day when the temperature hit 83 degrees was consistent with a high body temperature.
Deputy Coroner Larry Carroll said in an email Tuesday that 2-year-old Lavontae Swain’s death was “consistent with hyperthermia.”
Louisville police are investigating the child’s death.
Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said earlier that the toddler was in cardiac arrest when he was spotted alone and unresponsive inside the parked vehicle Monday afternoon. He died at the scene.
