Should the government step in to prevent hot car deaths ? On Wednesday , the Connecticut medical examiner ruled the death of a 15-month-old boy who was left in his father 's car in July a homicide . The cause of Benjamin Seitz 's death was hyperthermia because of environmental exposure , the state medical examiner said . On July 7 , Kyle Seitz was supposed to drop his son off at day care in Ridgefield , Connecticut , but the dropoff never occurred , his wife , Lindsey Rogers-Seitz told CNN last month . Seitz drove to work , and at the end of the day , picked Ben up at day care , only to realize he was not there . That was when Seitz found his son in the car . He rushed the child to the hospital , but Ben had died . No criminal charges have beeen filed in the boy 's death , but state prosecutors said the investigation was continuing . Benjamin Seitz 's death came in the wake of the June case of 22-month-old Cooper Harris , whose death after being left in a hot car in Georgia drew international attention .
