CRESCENT CITY, FLA. --
The physique of a 1-year-old Florida boy who had been lacking for a day was discovered Monday in a septic tank on the property the place his household lived, and investigators mentioned proof factors to his demise being unintentional.
Jose Lara's physique was present in a septic tank about 35 yards (32 metres) from his household's dwelling in Putnam County after investigators looking for him determined to empty it, Putnam County Sheriff H.D. "Gator" DeLoach mentioned at a information convention.
"That is actually not the decision we had hoped for," DeLoach mentioned. "That is actually the worst potential case situation."
Greater than 120 legislation enforcement officers and firefighters had searched a 2-square-mile (5.2 square-kilometre) space since Sunday. The choice was made early Monday to empty the septic tank.
A plywood board that lined the septic tank initially did not appear like it had been disturbed, however investigators imagine the boy stepped on the rotted cowl and fell in, DeLoach mentioned.
