Police in Ohio are investigating the heartbreaking story of a 13-month-old baby who died after she was left in a hot car for hours outside a day care.
Capt Sylvia Trundle told the Akron Beacon Journal that a baby sitter brought five children to the day care for a play date on Friday at about 9:30am, but apparently only took four out of the vehicle.
It wasn’t until 1:55pm that the baby sitter realized Aolani McCray was missing and found the child in the SUV, still strapped in her car seat.
Heartbreak: Akron authorities say 13-month-old Aolani McCray was left in this SUV for more than four hours as the temperature outside soared

The baby was rushed to a nearby, where she was pronounced dead.
Police said she died of heat exhaustion, and the incident is still under investigation.
Police Capt. Dan Zampelli said: 'We do know the baby was left for some period of time. Just how long, we don't know.'
Heat advisory: Police said Aolani McCray died of heat exhaustion outside this day care centre on a day where the temperature felt like 100 degrees

Charges have not yet been filed against the 30-year-old baby sitter, who reportedly had no idea the child had been left in the car.
The girl's family was stunned by the news.
Raymond McCray, Aolani's grandfather, said: 'All I know is I got home from the work and they was saying "your granddaughter passed away,"'
A family's pain: Raymond McCray said his granddaughter's family is 'taking it hard' after they found out their daughter had died

Mr McCray said the girl’s parents were 'taking it hard.'
A woman who lives near the day care centre said she felt terrible for the couple that runs it.
She said: 'They’re the nicest people who would ever want to meet. I think they’ve been running a day-care centre for at least 10 years - and doing a great job.'
The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for Akron due to 90-degree heat and high humidity that made it feel well over 100.
Studies show that the temperature inside a vehicle left in the sun can climb to as much as 140 degrees within two hours.
Investigation: Police said the baby sitter who mistakenly left the child in a dangerously hot car has not yet been charged
