A 5-year-old boy with autism who disappeared from his Michigan home yard on Christmas Day was found dead. Beau Brennan Belson was last seen playing with other family members on the patio in front of his home in Six Lakes on Wednesday afternoon. Then the little boy disappeared and was found dead in a pool of water. "Unfortunately he was found in a pool of water and is no longer with us," police Sgt. Kevin Sweeney told the Associated Press. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family".

WFSA reported that they do not suspect any criminal activity in this case, which appears to be a terrible accident. The case is still under investigation and the cause of his death has not yet been revealed. Her family realized that the boy had disappeared on Wednesday afternoon during a family gathering on Christmas Day and reported her to the Michigan police.

"What is believed is that he walked away from the house but nobody knows which way he went," Sgt. David Cope of the Michigan police told PEOPLE. Authorities began the search for the boy, fearing that he had hidden in a nearby forest. "Any five-year-old would be afraid, but we don't know if he is hiding or if he is on the move," he added then. "We want to find him as soon as possible."

The desperate search, which included trained dogs, a helicopter, and hundreds of volunteers, ended in tragedy. The boy - who came out of his house in dinosaur pajamas - was found dead in the pond. Rest in peace.
