Memorial held in Harlem for cab driver who was found dead in his vehicle during heat wave

HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- A memorial was held in Harlem for a cab driver who died on a scorching hot day.

Richard Coulibaly was found dead in his vehicle on July 2 in the middle of the worst heat wave of the summer.

Police had Coulibaly's phone. So other cabbies could not track down the man's family in Ivory Coast.

After several weeks of searching, they found success on social media. On Friday, they coordinated the transfer of his body to his homeland.
