The manner of death for the three-month old Peters Township boy who was found unresponsive in a van in Upper Saint Clair back in June has been released. After nearly two months of investigation, the death of baby Kayden Nguyen has been ruled accidental. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office released the results of their investigation Tuesday afternoon. According to officials, Nguyen was left in the back of a van on the 300 block of Fort Couch Road back on June 16th. His father reportedly forgot his son was in the back of the vehicle for several hours. Temperatures were in the low 90s that day, making conditions inside the car extremely dangerous. The medical examiner says Nguyen died of hyperthermia. Detectives with the Allegheny County and Upper St. Clair Police were once considering charges, but none were ever filed.
