    BURNABY, B.C. — RCMP say a toddler has died after being left in a vehicle in Burnaby, B.C., during a spring heat wave.

    At this time there have been no arrests made in relation to this incident.

     


    They say the infant's father was located at the scene and both parents are co-operating in this investigation, and no arrests have been made.
