A 4-month-old infant died after she was exposed to a heat wave while on Lake Havasu in Arizona with her family on Friday, July 5, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE.

The baby girl, Tanna Rae Wroblewski, fell ill and then lost consciousness around 5 p.m. on Friday while her family was out on a boat on Lake Havasu.

Before the Lake Havasu City Fire Department arrived at the scene, Tanna’s family performed CPR on her, according to a GoFundMe page created for the Wroblewski family. The first responders then transported Tanna to “Havasu Regional Medical Center, where they continued to work on her to get a pulse,” per the MCSO statement.

She was then airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital but succumbed to her injuries.

An investigation into Tanna’s death is ongoing. Additionally, the infant’s cause of death has yet to be released by the medical examiner.

Beginning on Thursday, July 4, the Lake Havasu region alerted the public that temperatures would be breaking records for the first time in nearly four decades. Temperatures in the area hit highs of 120°F starting Friday and are expected to continue reaching the 110s through the middle of July, per AccuWeather.

Numerous heat-related fatalities were reported over the holiday weekend as temperatures soared in many regions across the United States.
