A five-year-old boy who was reported missing in eastern Saskatchewan Friday night has been found dead, RCMP said Saturday.
The boy was reported missing around 7:15 p.m. Friday while walking west from a home about five kilometers southwest of the town of Hudson Bay, police said. The boy had autism and was nonverbal and unclothed when he was last seen, police said.
His body was found Saturday near the area from which he was initially reported missing, according to RCMP.
RCMP said their initial investigation determined the boy’s death was not suspicious.
RCMP issued a news release shortly before midnight Friday, asking for help locating the boy. In their Saturday news release, Hudson Bay RCMP thanked community groups, organizations and local residents who assisted in the search.
CBC News has removed his name and photo.
