The Summit County Sheriff's Office received a report early Saturday that a child was missing in the Christmas Meadows area. When that child was located shortly afterwards by law enforcement officers, they were airlifted to a hospital in Wyoming, and then transferred to a Salt Lake-area hospital where they were pronounced dead.
According to the sheriff's office, a family member was also hospitalized for a separate medical issue that is not believed to be connected to the child.
