There was widespread concern yesterday when he was reported missing, and sadly, a tragic update has been shared in the case of little Brendan Link Creato.

 

The three-year-old, who was reported missing from his father’s New Jersey apartment in the early hours of Tuesday morning, has tragically been found dead.

 

The toddler, who was wearing pyjamas, socks and slippers when he vanished, was found by police sniffer dogs just three hours after he was reported missing by his dad.

 

It is as of yet unclear how Brendan died, but a post mortem is reportedly set to take place over the following days.

 

 

A relative of the child expressed her sadness, telling local media: “He was fun, he was a playful little boy; energetic, always happy.”

 

It is believed that the child’s parents are separated and shared custody of him. Sources today are claiming that Brendan had stayed with his grandparents on Monday, and that they then dropped him home to be with his father that evening.

 

This is such a tragic story. Our hearts go out to the family, and we will keep you updated on the case as more information emerges.
