Milwaukee,  WI - On Saturday, both Charis Díaz, 33, from Puerto Rico and Luis Enrique Aldrete Guerra, 35, from Jalisco, Mexico are grieving the untimely death of their 26-month-old son, Chris Angel Aldrete-Díaz. Aldrete-Díaz was found deceased at home in the 3800 block of S. 43 Street just before 4:00 p.m. 

Aldrete-Díaz went to bed and never woke up again, according to Maddelyne Montes De Oca, Aldrete-Díaz's godmother.  De Oca says, an ambulance was called and attempts to resuscitate Aldrete-Díaz were unsuccessful. He had no history of illness. The Milwaukee Coroner's Office is performing an autopsy to determine what caused Aldrete-Díaz's death.

Díaz has two children and had attempted several times to get pregnant, but was unsuccessful before eventually becoming pregnant again with Aldrete-Díaz. Aldrete-Díaz was a playful and happy child who was adored by family and friends from Mexico and Puerto Rico, De Oca said.

Both Guerra and Díaz have no extended family in Milwaukee. 

De Oca has opened her Chase Bank account for donations sought for Aldrete-Díaz funeral expenses. Her Chase Bank account is 719659047 and Maddelyne Montes De Oca could be contacted at 414-817-4782 for more information.
