On 04/26/2026 around 5:53 p.m. Will County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a Plainfield home in the 14100 block of Lehigh Drive, to assist Lockport Township Fire Department for a call of an unresponsive infant.

When our deputies arrived on scene, the child, a male 2-month-old, was being rushed by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment. The child who was then airlifted in critical condition to Comer Children’s hospital for further treatment, died Tuesday night at the hospital.

An autopsy is scheduled for 4/30/26 and official results from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Officer should take several weeks.

The investigation is ongoing with Detectives working with DCFS, Comer Children’s Hospital and Cook County ME.

While the Cook County medical examiner’s office may be reporting certain things, the Will County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t received any official word from their office regarding this case. We are thoroughly investigating this criminal matter but no charges have been filed.
