A 3-year-old boy has died after falling from a building in Chicago, according to authorities.

The toddler was inside a residence on the 18th floor of a building in the 4500 block of N. Clarendon around 7 p.m. on Tuesday "when he fell through a screen window onto a parking garage below," the Chicago Police Department confirms to PEOPLE.

The victim was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, but did not survive.

The Cook County Medical Examiner has identified the victim as Chaise Binion, according to The Chicago Sun-Times and ABC affiliate WLS-TV. His fall has been ruled an accident.

Police said the 3-year-old fell from the Lake View Towers Apartments, located in Chicago's Uptown section on the North Side, according to WLS-TV and The New York Post.

The parking garage the boy fell onto is three-stories tall, according to WGN-TV.

Residents of the building told WLS-TV that the windows open to the inside and that, despite the screen, it is possible for a child to crawl into the space.
