UPDATE: WHITLEY COUNTY TODDLER DIED FROM
HEAT
Kentucky State Police say a toddler found
unresponsive in a car Thursday died of hyperthermia.
State Police
also say foul play is not suspected and believe 2-year-old Aubrey Rose
climbed into the car on her own.
Aubrey Rose’s uncle set up a
GoFundMe page for her parents.
On the page, Steve Antrim says his
brother laid down for a nap while Aubrey was asleep and, instead of waking
him like she usually does, the child left the home and got into the car.
