Glen Ellyn Boy, 7, Dies After Playing At Gym In Wheaton: Report

WHEATON, IL — A Glen Ellyn family is grieving and looking for answers after their seven-year-old son died after playing at a children's gym and play space in Wheaton Tuesday. Brady Daniel Doherty died around 9:30 a.m. at My Gym, 43 Danada Square, Daily Herald reports.

According to Daily Herald, Doherty died while at the gym, but friends and family members of the boy told Patch he suffered a head injury while at the gym and died a few days later. Patch reached out to DuPage County Coroner Richard Jorgensen for more information, but did not get an immediate response Friday afternoon.

In the wake of Doherty's death, community members have begun to display blue ribbons in the young boy's memory.

Law enforcement and the DuPage County Coroner's Office are still investigating the incident to determine the exact cause of Doherty's death.

In a message to members, My Gym's owner said the facility is temporarily closed, adding, "Please know that we are taking this very seriously because no parent should ever have any doubts about the well-being of their child while they are enjoying My Gym," the Daily Herald reported Friday.
