Midwest City police are investigating the death of a teenager.

According to the police department, a 13-year-old boy was found dead next to the air conditioning unit of his home in Midwest City.

Investigators said the boy apparently had been tampering with the Freon portion of the air conditioner, and that suggested he may have inhaled refrigerant from the unit.

The boy was a student at Nicoma Park Middle School.
