About 2:10 p.m. Tuesday, police went to a hospital to take a report about the death of a child. Officers were told the child had been left in a car.
A person reportedly broke a window to free the child from the car parked in the driveway of a home in the 3600 block of Boone Avenue on the north side of the city near Midland Boulevard and Spradling Avenue, police said.
The person took the child to a hospital, but the child was pronounced dead at the hospital.
About 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, neighbors, friends and family members gathered on the lawn of the brick, single-story home as investigators worked. People in the yard did not want to talk to reporters.
Police did not release the age of the child who died.
The investigation was continuing into what happened Tuesday afternoon.
