A 12-year-old autistic boy, missing for nearly two weeks, has been found dead in a New Orleans canal, with police saying he died from "blunt force due to an alligator" and drowning.
Bryan Vasquez, who was nonverbal, was reported missing on the morning of 14 August after he reportedly escaped through a bedroom window in the city's East side. Doorbell camera footage captured the boy, wearing only a nappy, walking alone down the street at approximately 5:20am that day.
