First responders found 34-year-old Kristofer Lee Wigton, of Leet Township, unconscious in his car there with a male passenger, and Wigton’s 10-month-old son was in a car seat in the back sweating profusely. Police say Wigton was behind the wheel and the vehicle was stopped but still in gear, and it had no air conditioning.
