Police say a one-year-old died after falling from the ninth-floor window of a northeast Ohio apartment building.

It happened around 7 pm Wednesday in Lakewood. Police say the child fell on the backside of the building at the Castlewood Apartments into a gravel area.

Paramedics rushed the child to MetroHealth Medical Center, where the 1-year-old was taken into surgery. Police say they received word from the hospital late Wednesday night that the child had died.

Police are investigating what led to the fall.
