Connecticut farm owner charged after infant dies in hot car
Kevin Pell, 47, was arrested after his one-year-old son was found unresponsive in the back of a vehicle at Pell Family Farm in East Windsor. Pell called 911 just before 2:30 pm and first responders transported the child to Connecticut Children’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:17 pm. Police said the outside temperature was about 81 F and that the child had been left for an extended period; preliminary investigation suggests a heat-related death. Pell was charged with risk of injury to a minor, released on $1 million bond, and ordered not to supervise children outside his household; additional charges and an autopsy are pending, and the farm filed Chapter 12 bankruptcy listing over $1 million in debts.
