Mansfield, OH - Mansfield police released more information Wednesday regarding the death of a 5-year-old boy on June 26, including the boy’s name, a possible cause of death and footage from two officers’ body-worn cameras.

Kyrie Brown, 5, suffered from “elevated body temperatures” in the moments leading up to his death, police said.

Mansfield police records show Brown’s last known whereabouts was listed as 6:30 a.m. His mother called 911 at 3:05 p.m., according to the incident’s command log.

Police have pointed to high temperatures within the vehicle as a factor in the child’s death.

A press release issued from police Wednesday indicated authorities are still waiting on “official results of an autopsy.”

Yet police said a preliminary autopsy report “indicates that (Brown) suffered from Hyperthermia.”

Hyperthermia is a condition where the body’s core temperature rises above normal ranges, typically due to the body’s inability to regulate heat effectively, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Police reiterated Wednesday they await more facts before determining whether criminal charges are appropriate.
