Baby dies locked in car at train station

EL CERRITO, Calif., June 9 (UPI) -- A baby boy died after spending hours locked in his father's car at a San Francisco-area commuter rail station.

The boy's mother found him in the car Monday afternoon at the BART station in El Cerrito, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. She discovered the father never dropped him off when she went to pick him up from his caretaker.

Everett Carey, 4 months old, was pronounced dead at a hospital about half an hour after the mother found him, Linton Johnson, a BART spokesman, said.

Alan Carey, the boy's father, typically dropped his son off before heading to the station and his job at a bank in San Francisco, police said. His mother, Anne Carey, who had returned to a job at a winery in the Napa Valley after maternity leave, would pick him up.

Jan Null, a meteorologist at San Francisco State University, said the temperature inside the car could have topped 110 degrees, even though the temperature outdoors was only 67.

Investigators have not said whether they plan to bring charges against Alan Carey.
