NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) — A missing 12-year-old boy with autism, whose body was discovered in a New Orleans canal following a nearly two-week-long search, died from “blunt force due to an alligator” and drowning. Bryan Vasquez was first reported missing on the morning of Aug. 14, after he reportedly escaped through a bedroom window. His disappearance prompted a massive search. On Tuesday, 12 days after the boy wandered away from home, his body was located by a drone. Police disclosed the cause of death on Wednesday. The New Orleans Police Department has launched an internal investigation into their delayed response, with police logs showing a five-hour gap from when they received the 9-1-1 call and when an officer arrived at the scene.
