A 1-year-old boy died Friday after he was left unattended in a vehicle in Southwest Suburban Burbank, officials said.
Ivan Villa of the 4800 block of West 85th Street in Burbank, was pronounced dead at 6:27 p.m. Friday at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Parents of the boy are being investigated for neglect after the child was left in an unattended vehicle, said Dave Clarkin, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. The agency has not had any prior contact with the family, Clarkin said.
The temperature reached a high of 96 degrees Friday in the Chicago area, according to the National Weather Service.
Clarkin said the incident in Burbank is the second report this week of the death of a child after being left unattended in a vehicle. The other occurred in southern Illinois, he said.
Burbank police could not immediately be reached for comment.
