Authorities in southern Illinois say a 6-year-old Champaign boy choked to death on part of marshmallow while at a private campground on Carlyle Lake.
Bond County Coroner Tony Brooks says Jeremiah M. Woods was at a picnic table with his family at Hickory Shores Resort when he became unresponsive.
Authorities say the incident happened after the boy took a bite out of a large marshmallow.
First responders took the boy to Greenville Regional Hospital about 20 miles away.
The boy was pronounced dead there late Saturday.
Autopsy results are pending.
