The Wabash County Coroner's Office has released preliminary findings in the accidental death of a juvenile at a Mt Carmel residence late last month.
The death occurred on Thursday, May 29th and an autopsy was done on Friday, May 30th in Springfield, Ill. The cause of death has been ruled consistent with suffocation due to a Mylar-helium filled balloon. These types of large balloons can pose serious risks to young children. Additional testing and toxicology reports are pending to determine the exact cause of death.
The death investigation continues by the Illinois State Police Child Death Task Force and the Mt Carmel Police Department. No other information is being released at this time.
