One child dead, another hospitalized after ingesting gasoline
TOWN OF MEDINA - Dane County sheriff's officials say a two-year-old has died while a four-year-old has been hospitalized after swallowing gasoline.
Deputies were called to the Town of Medina Sunday night where the 2-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy had ingested gasoline.
Authorities say the siblings climbed into a neighbor's car, which had a gas can in the back.

The girl was hospitalized at St. Mary's in Sun Prairie, where she died.
The other boy was taken by helicopter at UW Hospital.
