The community of Hurricane, Utah, is mourning the heartbreaking loss of 4-year-old Kache Wallis, who was found dead inside a toy chest in his bedroom. After being tucked in the night before, Kache was reported missing by his grandmother the next morning, prompting a widespread search.
Despite initial efforts, it wasn’t until a second sweep of the home that police discovered his body inside the chest. The medical examiner later confirmed he died from positional asphyxiation—a tragic accident after likely climbing in and becoming trapped.
Local authorities and neighbors have expressed deep sorrow and support for the grieving family. Kache’s death is a painful reminder of how quickly accidents can happen and the importance of taking extra safety precautions at home.
