It was the ending no one wanted but many feared as a search for a missing 2-year-old went through the night and into the next day.

Just after 7 Sunday morning, little Nain Dominguez was found near the park he had vanished from 14 hours earlier. Sources tell 11 News it was his own parents who found him along Fountain Creek. Nain was pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital.

Nain had last been seen playing with his siblings near the Stratmoor Hill Trailhead Park around 5 p.m. Saturday. An older sibling noticed he was missing, friends and family said. An Amber Alert was issued after authorities got word that the toddler may have been taken in a white panel van with no windows. An El Paso County Sheriff's Office spokesperson told 11 News investigators later ruled that possibility out following several interviews with witnesses.

The case is currently being investigated as an accidental drowning.
