A twenty nine year old developmentally disabled man died in a hot SUV outside of his home on July 25th. According to the Arlington police department, a group of people living at a group home were driven to an off-site location for the day, then returned to the home. For unknown reasons, the man was not dropped off and remained in the vehicle. The Tarrant County medical examiner determined hyperthermia to be the cause of death.
