A tragic ending to the search for a 5-year old Autistic boy in Belle Glade.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says the non-verbal child, who was identified by a family member as Siyoga Murphy Junior, was found dead in a canal Monday night.

The boy was playing with his sister at Glades Pioneer Park around 6 p.m. when the girl turned around and noticed he was gone.

Sonar technology was used to help locate the boy about five hours later.
