CORAM, N.Y. — Authorities are investigating the death of an 11-year-old girl who was found alone in a parked vehicle on Long Island.

Police say the mother had been running errands with the victim and two other children. After returning home, police say the mother went inside, believing that all the children were out of the car.

The girl was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
