Authorities in Florence are currently looking into the tragic death of an 11-year-old boy who was discovered unresponsive in a vehicle parked outside his residence on October 27. The incident took place at the Hermitage Place Apartments located on Hermitage Drive. According to reports from the police, staff members at the apartment complex initiated lifesaving efforts prior to the arrival of emergency medical services. Following these attempts, the child was transported to North Alabama Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased.
In the wake of this heartbreaking event, the boy’s remains have been sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for a thorough autopsy to determine the cause of death. The young victim was a student within the Florence City School System, prompting the school district to provide additional counseling services to support students during this difficult time. Meanwhile, detectives are actively pursuing the investigation to uncover further details surrounding the circumstances of the boy’s death.
