Authorities have found the cause of death in the case of a missing 6-year-old autistic boy, whose body was found in a dumpster this week.
The suspect, the boy’s 19-year-old uncle allegedly drowned the child in a bathtub on Monday, Oct. 16, and then dumped his body in a nearby dumpster at a Seattle-area apartment complex, Fox News reported.
Andrew Clayton Henckel was visiting from Kerrville, Texas, and was babysitting Dayvid Pakko on Monday, according to court documents as reported by Fox News. The child was reported missing that same day.
Henckel, a 6-foot-4-inch, and 180-pound man grabbed the 48-pound boy and plunged him face-first into the tub, drowning him, court documents said, reported Fox News.
