A THREE-year-old boy fell to his death from a highrise building on Tuesday night.

The boy fell out of the window of the Lake View Towers apartment, located in the Uptown area of the city, at 7pm, according to Chicago police.

The windows were believed to open wide enough to allow an arm to go through, and this likely contributed to the death of the boy, who has been identified Wednesday by the New York Post as Chaise Binion.

While it is unknown who was with the boy at the time of his death, the windows reportedly open inwards according to a report from CBS.

However, it is believed in this case the three-year-old was able to slip through the opening and through a screen.

The boy's body reportedly landed on a three-story parking structure that stands between the building's two 26-story towers.

According to officials, Chaise did not immediately die from the impact.

CPR was performed but the child was later pronounced dead at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

Witnesses told CBS a woman, possibly the mother of the dead boy, was seen to have collapsed in the hallway while cops were on the scene.

"She's on the floor – I saw. She's on the floor," a woman said.

"Very painful at this time…. She's not feeling well."

Cops believe the death to have been a tragic accident.

However, an investigation is still ongoing.
