A very sad ending to a story everyone hoped would end better.
The body of five-year-old Frank Young was found Saturday in the river on Red Earth Cree Nation, where he was last seen April 19.
RCMP say there is no indication of suspicious circumstances.
An extensive search was organized in the days and weeks following his disappearance.
His family has been notified and an autopsy will take place.
“This is not how anyone wanted the search for Frank to end. Our deepest condolences are with Frank’s family, loved ones, and community who have been greatly impacted by this tragedy,” said Sgt. Richard Tonge, Carrot River RCMP Detachment Commander in a media release. “We would like to thank everyone within the community and beyond, who assisted in the search for Frank.”
