Kache Wallis was originally reported missing Sunday, the morning after he was tucked into bed by his grandmother.
A preliminary search of the home by Hurricane City police failed to find the boy, leading to a neighborhood search involving residents and other agencies. A decision was made to search the home again, where officials found Kache inside a small toy chest in his bedroom.
The Utah Medical Examiner's Office ruled his death to be accidental due to positional asphyxiation.
