Boy's Body Found Weeks After Storms
Klaatu, Mikitivity
A body found floating in a pool on the Ivanova River Thursday was that of an 11-year-old boy who was swept away when he fell into a mountain creek swollen with runoff from powerful winter storms last month, authorities said.
A group of hikers found the body outside of Klaatu. One of the hikers said, "What we found, nobody should see."
The Miervatian boy fell into a creek on Jan. 16. The storms had passed and many people were going into the mountains for recreation. The boy and his family were using snow shoes to hike on the fresh snowpack when a new storm system came through. He fell into a creek where a woman and her 7-year-old son had died earlier that week in the first storms. Water carried his body beyond the reach of his family and went missing for several weeks.
Police reminded locals of the dangers of hiking in the Mon Calamari range in winter.
