Homicide Investigation Underway in Frankfort, Illinois

FRANKFORT, Ill. — Authorities are investigating the death of a 2-year-old child following a tragic incident at a home on Brookstone Court near Pfeiffer Road in Frankfort early Wednesday morning.

Police responded to the residence as an investigation involving the child’s death was launched. The child was transported to a hospital following the incident but later died.

The child’s mother, identified by information provided to this publication as Corie Walsh, was also taken to a hospital after suffering injuries in what authorities described as an apparent self-harm incident. Her injuries were reported to be non-life-threatening.

Mother Allegedly Involved

Law enforcement agencies say that Walsh attempted to hang herself after hanging her toddler. The child’s death and the self-harm incident are being investigated as an attempted murder-suicide.

Authorities, however, have not publicly released a detailed account of what occurred inside the residence. Police have also not announced charges against Walsh.

The investigation remains active, and detectives are working to establish a complete timeline of events and determine what led to the child’s death.

Police Continue Investigation

Officers remained at the Brookstone Court residence as investigators processed the scene and gathered information.

Authorities have not yet released the child’s identity, nor have they provided additional details about the circumstances of the death. The case has been described as an attempted murder-suicide investigation, although investigators will ultimately determine the appropriate classification and whether criminal charges are warranted.
