MIAMI SHORES, Fla. - A Miami police officer's wife died after getting trapped inside her husband's patrol unit on Friday, which was parked outside their Miami Shores home and as temperatures were in the 90s.According to the Miami Herald, 56-year-old Clara Paulino got in the backseat of the SUV searching for something, and then was trapped by the door’s latching mechanism -- which prevents it from being opened from the inside -- for about four hours without anyway of contacting anyone. The Herald reported a partition between the back seat and the front seat likely stopped her from being able to honk the horn, and she didn't have her cell phone to call for help.
