Missing 3 Year Old Has Tragic End
North Vancouver-

On Friday October 20, 2006 the North Vancouver RCMP responded to the area of Chief Jimmy Harry Drive in North Vancouver for a report of a 3 year that had gone missing. Initial information received at the scene was that the 3 year old boy was out playing with friends, when he apparently wandered off on his own. The parents of the boy became alarmed when they did not see their son with the other children, and notified police. Investigators responded to the residence of the missing boy and immediately initiated a search of the area where he was last seen by friends. The search ended tragically when the boy was found in a swimming pool a short distance from where he was last observed. Rescue efforts by Police and then other Emergency responders were unsuccessful, and the boy was pronounced dead at Children's Hospital in Vancouver. The name of the deceased is not being released by Police in respect of the family.
