SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) – A 15-month-old died after falling from a third-story window last week.

Rescuers had to tear down part of a fence to reach the child who had dropped more than 20 feet.

The boy was taken to a hospital but was later pronounced dead.

Family members were notified, but the office of the chief medical examiner didn’t release additional information.

Child Protective Services is investigating the incident.
