Trapped and dying in a minivan, desperate Ohio teen calls 911 for help that doesn’t find him<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 911 recordings are gut-wrenching.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trapped in a gold 2002 Honda Odyssey van with his time running short, 16-year old Kyle Plush asked Siri to call 911 and begged the dispatcher for help in a series of emergency calls released by Cincinnati police.<\/span><\/p>\n

Law enforcement looked for the van, but Kyle was dead, stuck between seats in the van, when he was found hours after the calls.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recordings of Kyle’s desperate calls have prompted the Cincinnati Police Department to launch an investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kyle made his first call to 911 operators with Cincinnati Police shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Help, help, help I’m stuck in my van outside the Seven Hills parking lot. Help. I need help,” he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

A sophomore at Seven Hills School, Kyle was supposed to be at an afternoon tennis match.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, he was using voice commands to dial 911, because he didn’t have his phone in his hand, said Cincinnati Police <\/span>
\nDepartment Lt. Steve Saunders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither Kyle nor the operator seem to be able to hear each other:<\/span><\/p>\n

Dispatcher: Where are you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Kyle: I can’t hear you, I’m in desperate need of help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dispatcher: What is the address?<\/span><\/p>\n

Kyle: Help, help, help. I can’t hear you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dispatcher: Where are you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Kyle: If you don’t send help I’m gonna die soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first call ends and the dispatcher alerts local law enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Officers responded to the area in an attempt to locate the vehicle. Based on the information relayed to the officers, efforts to locate the caller were unsuccessful,” Cincinnati police said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saunders said there are several parking lots associated with the school. A map on the schools website shows seven parking lots surrounding the campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy who is familiar with the area also checked for the van.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deputy searched in at least two parking lots near the school. “I looked in a van and I didn’t see anybody in it,” the deputy told dispatchers.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was really hard to hear,” the operator told the deputy. “It was really a strange call.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The 911 operator tried calling Kyle back, but after several rings his voice mail picked up.<\/span>
\nThen Kyle called 911 again, this time his voice was faint.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is not a joke. This is not a joke. I’m trapped inside a gold Honda Odyssey van,” he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Banging can be heard in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I probably don’t have much time left. Tell my Mom I love her, if I die,” Kyle tells the 911 operator.<\/span><\/p>\n

The call lasted more than 2\u00bd minutes. There is no response from the operator on the recording.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later that night, Kyle’s mother reported her son missing to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department, CNN affiliate WCPO reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My son never comes home from school and we thought he was at a tennis match and he never came home from school,” she said.<\/span>
\nHis father used a phone locating app, which took him to the school parking lot, Saunders said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 9 p.m., 911 dispatchers received a call that Kyle had been found in the minivan.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He was stuck, looks like he was turned over in the seat, he’s stuck there. He’s been there for a while,” one caller says.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office performed an autopsy and the “preliminary autopsy findings are asphyxia due to chest compression,” ruling the death accidental. A statement said there is no indication of foul play or evidence of a drug overdose.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters is launching an investigation into what happened, WCPO reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deters said “the young man was trapped in the third row bench seat, and it is called positional asphyxiation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are actively trying to identify experts to assist us in this investigation,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cincinnati police said the department will “initiate a full procedural and technical review of all calls received by the Emergency Communications Section and associated dispatch recordings related to this incident.”<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about the incident by CNN, a Honda spokesperson said, “There have been no recalls affecting the seats of the 2002 Honda Odyssey in the United States.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Kyle joined the Seven Hills community in the sixth grade. He was a young man of keen intelligence, good humor and great courage, and this whole community feels this loss very deeply, ” said a statement from Seven Hills School obtained by CNN affiliate WLWT.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mercy Montessori, where Kyle went for early education, released a statement saying, “Our Mercy hearts are heavy.”<\/span>
\nThere is a vigil planned for Kyle at Mercy Montessori on Thursday at 7 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n
