A welfare check at a home on Belleview Avenue in Blue Ash ended with first responders finding an 11-year-old boy dead inside, while a woman from the home was rushed to the hospital. The child's cause of death remains unknown as the Hamilton County Coroner's Office works through its investigation, and authorities have not released the boy's identity.
According to WKRC, the welfare check led directly to the discovery of the child's body at the Blue Ash home, and a woman inside the residence was taken to the hospital afterward. The outlet reports that police have not released any additional information beyond those basic details.
Exactly when first responders arrived is described slightly differently across local reports. WLWT reports that Blue Ash police and fire crews responded to the 4700 block of Belleview Avenue around 7:42 p.m. Friday for a wellbeing check, while FOX19 reports that police and fire crews were called to the home around 7:45 p.m. on Oct. 23. Both accounts agree on the location and the outcome: an 11-year-old child was found dead in the home.
Coroner's Findings Still Pending
The Hamilton County Coroner's Office is working to determine the child's cause of death, and the station notes that those results are pending. No timeline has been given for when that determination might be complete.
The identity of the child has not been released, per the same account, leaving the community without confirmation of who the boy was. No further details about the woman taken to the hospital, including her condition or connection to the child, have been made public.
Investigation Remains Open
As of now, police have released no additional information about what led to the discovery or what investigators believe happened inside the home. Hoodline will update this story as the Hamilton County Coroner's Office and Blue Ash police release further details.
