Montgomery County, Tenn.- Police are investigating the death of a teenager at a treatment center for troubled children. The 17 year old died over the weekend.
The teen was spending time at the Chad Youth Enhancement Center in Montgomery County.
Officials with the school told Montgomery County investigators the teenager became unruly on Saturday. They restrained the child and something apparently went wrong. An ambulance took the child to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. He died on Sunday.
"I know we've interviewed those involved. There's not been any dispositions made from the sheriff's office whether there was any wrong doing. Our investigation is still on going right now," said Montgomery County Spokesman,Ted Denny.
No one from the youth center will comment about what happened. The initial autopsy has been completed with no definitive cause of death. Sources close to the investigation have identified the teen as Omega Leach,17, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
