Police say a young boy has died after he and his twin were found in a hot car on the Iron Range.  

The twin 3-year-olds were reported missing Monday from a Hibbing, Minnesota home around 5:30 p.m. About an hour and a half later, police say a citizen found the boys in a vehicle near the home. That person alerted the officers, who broke a window to get the Twins out. 

Police say both boys were unresponsive and "in medical distress due to the extreme heat inside of the vehicle." 

One boy was airlifted to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. On Wednesday, police said the boy had died. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office will perform an autopsy. 

Officials say that the other boy was released from a Duluth hospital.  

According to police, possible charges on the father of the twin boys have been sent to the St. Louis County Attorney’s office for review and decision.
