Johnson Redhead, the six-year-old boy who had been missing in a northeastern Manitoba First Nation since Wednesday has been found dead, according to RCMP.
Searchers in Shamattawa First Nation found Johnson around 7:45 p.m. on Sunday night, Manitoba RCMP said in a news release. His body was found in a marshy area, about three-and-a-half kilometres from the school where he was last seen, according to the release.
The boy attended a breakfast program at the school in the northeastern Manitoba First Nation on Wednesday morning but didn’t show up in class after that, RCMP previously said.
His disappearance sparked a large-scale search of the area by community members, volunteers and police.
Our condolences to the grieving family and community.
