Roe v. Wade isn't very relevant when you can just fry 'em

An investigation is continuing into the death of Jesse Templeton, a 13-month-old Pierre boy, who died Friday afternoon after being left unattended in a closed vehicle in rural Stanley County, according to a news release.

The Stanley County State's Attorney's office may consider potential manslaughter, child-neglect or other charges after the conclusion of the investigation by the sheriff's office and the South Dakota Department of Criminal Investigation, according to a news release.

The infant was discovered about 4:15 p.m. in a car outside his father's office building near Oahe Dam, according to the news release from State's Attorney Tom Maher. The toddler was transported to St. Mary's Healthcare Center but could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

According to the news release, preliminary investigation indicates he died from heat exposure, but the county coroner has requested a forensic autopsy.

Isburg Funeral Home in Pierre is responsible for the arrangements, and the service will be at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 21. The family has requested that no obituary for the boy be released to the Rapid City Journal.
