Found Deceased Canada - Finnigan Danne, 12, Hamilton Ontario, 6 August 2016

[jash]

Poor Finnigan. For his family's sake (and for the community's peace of mind), I hope this was just a tragic accident.

His body was found near Sullivan Lane. Is that where the family home is as well?

Yesterday at 5:34, Hamilton police said they were focusing on Trudy Court in Dundas https://www.facebook.com/HamiltonPolice/

ETA: Sullivan's lane is just east of Trudy Court. https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Trudy+Ct,+Hamilton,+ON/@43.2624581,-79.9752129,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x882c846515e4812f:0x458a7a5c5263185!8m2!3d43.2631378!4d-79.9734963

Very close. I would say it was within several hundred meters of his home. ( 200 yards for our American friends).

ETA: I believe Finn's family lived on Trudy, right near the corner of Ann St. His body seems to have been found on Sullivan, not far south of Ann St.

What the heck?? What could have happened?

Neighbours near his home on Sunday said his body was found in a culvert in the area.

Danne was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with a Special Olympics logo, and grey shorts. He was also barefoot.

He had limited mobility and walked with a limp, police said. His wheelchair was left at home.

A post mortem has been scheduled for an undisclosed time, and police continue to investigate.

CP 24 live at 7:00 pm: Neighbours interviewed remarking that the area where Finnigan was found was extensively searched (more than 100 volunteers searching). Police on horseback and K9s searched the area. Shocked neighbours saying they don't know how he could have been missed.

Finnigan found less than 150 meters from his front door.

Simple answer: you shouldn't have.
Better answer: because you care about people

Poor young Finn already had a much tougher life than most of us. He didn't deserve this ending.

Just noticed ( and started thread) that another boy, Arnold Knelson, 13 years old, has been missing from Hamilton for a week now, his family must be frantic, considering this sad situation.

Likely not related (wrong end of city; wrong sex), but I came across this:

Hamilton Police are stepping up enforcement along the city’s trail system after a series of threatening incidents this summer.

There is a trail at the top of Finnigan's little street/lane.

 

[Lexiintoronto]

I know he was physically challenged, but with him being very small I'm wondering if he crawled into the metal culvert drain pipe?

 

[Tealgrove]

So so sad. He was so close to home. I wonder if he crawled in and couldn't get out. It has been EXTREMELY hot here in southern Ontario and very humid. Horrible quite frankly and we are in a drought situation as well. We have barely had a drop of rain all summer so I don't think drowning in the culvert would be on the list of reasons he died. But then again, you never know.

Why did it take so long to get the word out?

There is a culvert at the corner of Sullivan Lane and Ann Street.

Police tape remains around scene at Sullivan's Ln & Ann St in #Dundas near culvert where Finnigan Danne was found.

Finnigan must have had so many challenges in life and for his life to end so short is tragic. R.I.P Finnigan. All updates are much appreciated.

 

[Snoopster]

A neighbour says that she and others had walked by the culvert and looked in the culvert and hadn't seen anything.

My guess is that either he was dumped in there later, in a panic, or, that he was further up the culvert and his body was washed down or found by the canine search group.

Just saw this on my FB feed and come here to see he's already been found, deceased, in an area where nearly everyone says was already thoroughly searched. I agree, it doesn't make a lot of sense unless he was put there, after the area was searched.

Which makes me believe that he was placed there later.
I wonder if the perpetrator panicked once the Amber Alert was issued.
