“Oh my God! Oh my God!” his mother screamed when she heard the devastating news, the Hamilton Spectator reported.

Police had said they were concerned about the boy’s safety because he suffered from a neuromuscular disorder, walked with a limp, and had limited mobility without a wheelchair, which was left at his home. It’s unclear how he managed to wander away from home.

He was described as four-foot-two and 27 kilograms., with a thin build, dirty blond hair and blue eyes.
