The tragic death of a toddler in Burlington is under investigation.
Police and EMS were called to the parking lot of the Crossroads Centre yesterday around the dinner hour, by a "hysterical" man who said a child was in a vehicle and was not breathing.
By the time paramedics arrived, the three year old boy was outside the car.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
His cause of death is unknown at this time and an autopsy will be conducted today in Toronto.
Halton police will not say whether yesterday's 26 degree heat played a factor in his death nor will they say how long the boy was in the car.
