A toddler has died after his aunt apparently pushed him into a lake and watched him suffer for 30 minutes. Josiah 'JoJo' Brown, three, sadly lost his life on September, 25 after he plunged into Lake Michigan, USA six days before his death, the Daily Star reports.
After nearly a week of battling his horrific injuries which included a swollen brain, a depressed heart, seizures and bleeding in his lungs, the three year old passed away at around 10am local time. The boy's aunt, Victoria Moreno, 32 said she had taken Josiah out for the day on the rides when she allegedly pushed him into the water at Chicago's popular Navy Pier, with no eye witnesses around.
It's been reported that Josiah was seized from his grandmother's home in Des Plaines after his mother had dropped him off earlier that day. Moreno has a history of mental illness, having been tied to insomnia, depression and anxiety in the past and she has been known to "snatch her nieces away in ‘pseudo-kidnappings’".
