- Missing toddler’s body later located
The frantic search for a missing toddler who vanished in central Queensland has come to a tragic end after he was found dead.
Queensland Police issued an urgent public appeal on Tuesday night for help to locate a three-year-old boy reported missing from the small town of Thababen, near Bundaberg.
The blond-haired toddler wearing a Spiderman outfit was last seen at a Central Avenue home about 3.30pm Tuesday before he disappeared.
Police held serious concerns for his welfare due to his young age.
A large-scale search was launched involving police, SES crews, and locals.
Their worst fears were realised later on Tuesday night when the toddler’s body was found shortly before 9.30pm.
The boy was reportedly found unresponsive in a car at the Central Avenue home where he was last seen. He could not be revived.
The toddler’s death is not being treated as suspicious.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
