The death of a Miami Police officer’s wife who became trapped in the back seat of his department-issued SUV for hours was caused by heat stroke and has been ruled an accident, according to a medical examiner’s report.
The report from the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner on the death of Clara Paulino was released Tuesday.
Paulino died on Aug. 21 after becoming trapped in the SUV outside the Miami Shores home she shared with her husband, Officer Aristides Paulino.
