Illinois boy, 2, dies in hospital after falling into river

MACHESNEY PARK, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say a 2-year-old northern Illinois boy has died days after being pulled from a river he fell into while walking along the waterway.

He was found after Monday's fall in an inlet canal off of the river.
