 An 8-month-old Kentucky boy died in a hot car on Monday after his father forgot to drop him at day care, authorities said. He was found in his car seat. 
  
 Authorities were still investigating the case, but ruled the death an accident, The Associated Press reported. 
  
 Louisville police said Lincoln Lindsay's father left the boy strapped in his car seat when he went to work, about five miles from his home in Louisville’s East End neighborhood. 
  
 The father later found the boy’s lifeless body still strapped in the seat and rushed him to their home, hoping the boy’s mother, who worked in medicine, could revive him, local station WDRB reported. 
  
 Ambulances eventually arrived at the family’s house, and the boy was pronounced dead there at 6:17 p.m. 
  
 Authorities haven’t nailed down how long the boy was stranded in the punishing heat, but said it appeared to be several hours. 
  
 The mercury in Louisville hovered around 90 degrees all day, and authorities said temperatures inside the car easily topped 100. 
  
 Lincoln's parents, who were not identified, were questioned by police, but no charges have been filed.

 Kentucky had 18 hot car deaths from 1998 to 2011, according to the group’s website. 
  
 “A lot of the times it is a parent that might not have the child with them at all times and so if they’ve got work or other things on their mind the child might fall asleep in the backseat so they don’t hear them. It’s easy to do.” Kristin Norris, of Exploited Children’s Help Organization in Louisville, told WDRB. 
  
 Last month, a Texas mom was arrested for allegedly leaving her 2-year-old boy in the car while she downed margaritas at a Dallas Tex-Mex joint for 30 minutes. 
  
 That mom, Jessica Christian, had cracked the windows. The boy survived. She was charged with child abandonment and child endangerment. 
  
 Warnings about children left in hot cars come as the Northeast was bracing for the massive heat wave.

 Last year, the weather service reported 206 heat-related deaths nationwide

 The first major heat wave of the summer blanketed the U.S. East Coast on Wednesday with scorching temperatures that swept across the region. 
  
 Hot air -- often in excess of 90 degrees -- stretched from Maine to North Carolina, with the highest temperatures hitting parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, according to the National Weather Service. 
  
 "Very few areas are forecast to be below 90 degrees in the Northeast," said agency spokeswoman Susan Buchanan.

 New York City and parts of northeast New Jersey are expecting the heat index to reach even higher. Actual temperatures reached the mid-90s on Wednesday. 
  
 "I wouldn't say this is highly abnormal," said meteorologist Rick Watling. "Having heat advisories or even warnings this time of the year is not too unusual." 
  
 The National Weather Service advises residents to wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing, drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments, stay out of the sun and check on relatives and neighbors. 
  
 Young children and the elderly are especially at risk for heat-related injuries, the service said. 
  
 Last year, it reported 206 heat-related deaths. In the past decade, heat has been the second-leading cause for weather-related fatalities, the service said.

 Cities across the Northeast designated cooling centers and have issued advisories in an effort to help keep residents safe, according to emergency management officials in several cities. 
  
 "For the most part, they're places that are already open and they're designated for when the heat rises," said New York Emergency Management spokeswoman Judith Kane. "The centers are places like senior centers that will be open to the public. It's an effective way to get access to air conditioning if you don't have it." 
  
 Residents are advised to call 311 or to go to their city's website online to find cooling centers and to get further information on how to keep cool as the heat rises. ||||| It was the longest day of the year Wednesday, and with temperatures in New York hitting the mid-90s, the hottest one, too. 
  
 But Thursday could be even more unbearable. 
  
 With temperatures projected to hit 98 degrees and a heat index of well over 100, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg urged New Yorkers to seek air-conditioning, drink plenty of water and check on friends and neighbors. 
  
 The city has opened 455 air-conditioned cooling centers through Thursday, with extended hours, at places like senior centers, Salvation Army community centers and public libraries. Residents can call 311 or go to nyc.gov to find a convenient location. 
  
 In a heat advisory, the city’s Education Department asked principals to limit outdoor recess and exercise during the warmest hours, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 
  
 “Please pay special attention to children who may be more susceptible to heat-related illness, including those who are obese, have chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and asthma, or are suffering from a gastrointestinal illness,” the advisory said. 
  
 Consolidated Edison said that it had about 1,000 power failures in the city and Westchester County on Wednesday, most of which had been restored, and that it had begun to reduce the voltage in the system to prepare for the demand expected on Thursday. 
  
 “Tomorrow will definitely exceed today’s,” said Michael Clendenin, a spokesman for Con Ed. 
  
 The last time the temperature broke 90 in New York was in August, as part of a heat wave that claimed at least 31 lives in the city. (The heat spell at the end of last month came close, topping out at 89 degrees.) 
  
 In a news conference at a senior center in the Bronx, Mr. Bloomberg focused on ways to prevent heat-related illness and warned that the conditions could be “very dangerous.” 
  
 “It’s crucial that all New Yorkers take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families from the heat,” he said. 
  
 The city’s public pools will not open until June 28, the day after school ends. But many educators indicated that they were prepared for the heat, with 9 of 16 schools contacted on Wednesday saying they had already altered their normal routines. 
  
 Employees at several elementary and middle schools said they were keeping students inside for recess and encouraging them to stay in air-conditioned areas. Others said they were giving students extra water breaks or even, in one case, free fruit ices. 
  
 Maria Resto, secretary at Middle School 45 in Manhattan, said that students were not allowed to go outside for recess and that a planned field trip to Central Park was canceled because of the heat. 
  
 At Public School 110 in the Bronx, Melva Morton, an intervention counselor, said that because only half of the building had air-conditioning, teachers in the uncooled half were propping their doors open. 
  
 Not that the children noticed. 
  
 “For some reason, the children don’t feel the heat,” Ms. Morton said. “We’re the ones that are sweltering. The kids are running around like you wouldn’t believe. Some of us said, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t let you outside,’ but they said, ‘No, we want to go outside!’ To them, it’s like a regular day.” |||||
A:
Summer started off with a bang in the Northeast yesterday, with temperatures often higher than 90 degrees up and down the East Coast. In some states, the heat index hit as high as 105 degrees, and New York City and parts of New Jersey expect that number to get higher, CNN reports. The New York Times notes that it was the city's hottest day of the year—the temperature hasn't cracked the 90-degree mark since August—but today could be worse, with temps expected to reach 98 degrees. Relief is expected over the weekend, the New York Daily News adds, but expect triple digits in some areas before then. In Kentucky, high temperatures contributed to a tragedy this week: Lincoln Lindsay, eight months old, died after his father forgot to drop him off at day care and instead left him in his car seat while he went to work Monday. The temperature was around 90 degrees that day, meaning inside the car it was over 100 degrees; Lindsay was likely in the car for several hours. Authorities ruled the death an accident.
