Teen’s death in garage  an accident

By Michael PuenteDaily Herald Staff Writer

Posted Wednesday, February 08, 2006 A 14-year-old Rolling Meadows High School freshman was remembered Tuesday, following her unexpected death, as a good friend and student. Ossiris Ibanez was found dead inside a running automobile parked in a garage in Cicero, according to police. Cicero police were called to the home on the 2100 block of South 61st Avenue on Monday afternoon. There, they found Ibanez with 17-year-old Jorge Gomez, who lived at the address and was a student at Morton East High School in Cicero. The two were found unconscious inside of the automobile. The two apparently died from carbon monoxide that built up in the garage, according to police. Police were called to the scene when Gomez’s parents reported him missing. The parents later found that the door to the garage was locked and they could not get in. “The garage was locked from the inside. They found the two unconscious. They were pronounced dead at the scene by the medical examiner,” police spokesman Dan Proft said. “The theory is, absent any new evidence, it was accidental due to carbon monoxide. The car was still running. It’s a tragic error in judgment.” Proft said it doesn’t appear that any foul play is involved in the deaths. “They were either friends or boyfriend and girlfriend. There was no foul play. It was an accident,” Proft said. “Both were good kids, as we understand.” School officials for Northwest Suburban High School District 214 said Ibanez was a good student at Rolling Meadows High School. “From all accounts, she was a very popular young lady, according to her friends,” said district spokeswoman Venetia Miles. “She was a very nice young girl. Very happy and always willing to help anyone.” Because of her popularity, high school officials sought out Ibanez’s friends to offer emotional support once the friends learned of her death, Miles said. Funeral arrangements for Ibanez are pending.
