LUNENBURG, Mass.—An autopsy is scheduled for a boy who died after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning in the woods in Lunenburg.

Nine-year-old Alejandro Thomasian of Fitchburg was four-wheeling Friday night with another boy and three adults when one of the vehicles got stuck.

The children stayed in the vehicle to keep warm and were later found unconscious by adults who were trying to free the Jeep.

Thomasian died Sunday, while 11-year-old Jobanny Matias of Leominster remains in critical condition at Massachusetts General Hospital.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy Monday.

Lunenburg Police Chief Daniel Bourgeois says initial investigation shows the incident was "a truly tragic accident."

Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. says an investigation continues.
