DICKINSON COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Dickinson County are investigating a child’s death in a car on Sunday evening.

Just after 6:15 p.m. deputies were notified of a child found not breathing in a vehicle at a rural residence in the 2800 Block of Lark Road, according to Dickinson County Sheriff Gareth Hoffman.

After an investigation, the child was identified as 18-month-old Olivia Ann Engstrom.

“The child and her siblings were playing outside and the parents were inside the home,” said Hoffman. “At some point the toddler got into the vehicle and the doors were shut.”

The National Weather Service indicated temperatures at that time on Sunday were in the upper 90s.

The child was not transported to a hospital.

Deputies conducted numerous interviews on Sunday evening.

“We are working on being extremely compassionate to the family,” said Hoffman.

“The siblings are very young.”

An autopsy will be conducted.

“Unless there is something we missed, the death will be considered a tragic accident,” said Hoffman.
