INVERNESS, Ill. (WGN) — A suburban Illinois father allegedly poisoned his children before he died by suicide, killing his son and putting his daughter in critical condition, police say.

The boy’s 6-year-old sister was located inside and transported to a hospital in critical condition. Police said the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning due to a generator.
