5-year-old Beau Brennan Belson, who went missing Christmas Day, found dead

A 5-year-old Michigan boy was found dead after he went missing on Christmas Day, police said Thursday.

Beau Brennan Belson’s body was recovered from a pond Thursday afternoon near a relative’s home in Six Lakes, where he vanished less than 24 hours earlier, according to Michigan State Police.

The boy had been outside the home playing with other family members Wednesday when relatives noticed he was gone around 2:30 p.m., police said.

Authorities conducted a land, water and air search that eventually led them to his body in the nearby pond.

“Unfortunately he was found in a pond and he is no longer with us. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family,” said Lt. Commander Kevin Sweeney, according to ABC News.

No cause of death has been released, and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
