In a heartbreaking incident that has sent shockwaves through Hurricane, Utah, authorities have confirmed the tragic death of 4-year-old Kache Wallis. The young boy, who mysteriously disappeared from his home after being put to bed the previous night, was discovered lifeless inside a small toy chest in his bedroom. Following an extensive investigation by the Utah Medical Examinerโs Office, the official cause of death has been attributed to โpositional asphyxiation.โ
This heart-wrenching ordeal began when Kacheโs grandmother, rising from her slumber, made the heartbreaking discovery that the young boy was missing from his bed.

This distressing discovery intensified the investigation, involving detailed interviews with family members and close collaboration with the medical examinerโs office.
The investigation ultimately revealed that Kache had seemingly climbed into the toy chest, inadvertently trapping himself, and tragically succumbing to asphyxiation. His death has been ruled as accidental, adding another layer of sorrow to this heartrending situation.
