Mother dies in car after shopping trip

RAYTOWN, Mo. -- A 45-year-old woman who had just finished shopping at a Kansas City-area Wal-Mart died in her car in the parking lot as her 2-year-old daughter slept in the back seat, police said.

Police said there were no obvious signs of a crime when they found the body of Deborah Jean Warren, of Raytown, in her car on Saturday. She had shopped at the store for about 45 minutes before she was found in the car, which was running with the air-conditioning on.

Raytown Detective Kevin Sheets said Tuesday that police were still awaiting toxicology results to determine the cause of Warren's death. Warren's child was not injured, police said.
