A vigil will be held Tuesday for a Hamilton-area boy who was found dead on Sunday.
Police said Finnigan Danne, 11, drowned. His body was found in a culvert not far from his home in the west Hamilton community of Dundas.
The vigil will be held at 8:30 p.m. at the corner of Ann Street and Sullivans Lane. A GoFundMe page has also been set up to help the family.
Danne suffered from a neuromuscular disorder and had limited mobility. He had gone missing on Saturday morning. An Amber Alert was issued the next day, but was cancelled about an hour later, once his body was found.
Officers and neighbourhood volunteers had searched the area of the culvert, but did not initially spot the body because it was under water.
Police said foul play is not suspected and called the boy’s death a “tragedy.”
