The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the death of a 4-year-old girl who was apparently left inside a hot vehicle in Valley Village.

LAPD Capt. Warner Castillo said officers responded at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday to a call about an unresponsive child in the 1200 block of McCormick Street.

He said Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics were providing medical aid to the child when officers arrived. Paramedics pronounced the child dead at the scene.

The LAPD’s Juvenile Division is investigating the case.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner identified the girl as Adina Nevo. The cause of death was deferred, meaning the medical examiner has completed an autopsy but may need more time and information to determine the exact cause of death.

A law enforcement source, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation, said the case was being investigated as a suspected hot car death. The medical examiner listed the girl’s place of death as “vehicle.”

A source close to the family, who was not authorized to speak to the media, said the child was part of a neighborhood carpool. She was found in the vehicle only after her mother showed up to pick her up from preschool, the source said. It was unclear why the girl was left in the vehicle.

The carpool driver has not been arrested.

Louis Shapiro, that man’s attorney, said his client was distraught and still processing the tragedy.

“We feel heartbroken for the family who lost a child here,” he said.

At a funeral held for the girl Wednesday, family and friends said Adina evoked an indescribable happiness from people.

“Adina, I will never forget the time we got to spend with you and we’ll always love you,” one of her three sisters said, crying. “I miss the time that I got to play with you and I’m sorry for the time I said no or that I was too busy.”

“You always made us laugh and it won’t be the same without you,” she said. “You’re always in our hearts and we miss you so much.”
