HOUSTON (AP) - An autopsy has been ordered on a two-year-old boy who was left in a car in Houston on a day when temperatures were in the mid-90s.

Investigators believe a relative forgot that Angel Ace Castillo was in the vehicle.

Police say it appears an uncle had taken several children to an apartment complex to swim when the toddler was left in the car Sunday afternoon.

Police say the uncle apparently believed other relatives had the child.

Prosecutors will decide whether to file charges.
