The news regarding the discovery of Frank Young’s body appeared on my Facebook timeline yesterday.

Small comfort though it may be, at least they found his body and that his death appears to have been nothing more than a tragic accident!

Very sad!

RIP little guy!

''RCMP said Frank Young was located Saturday in the Carrot River, about two kilometres downstream from where he was last seen playing on the Red Earth Cree Nation in April.

Frank’s grandmother Teresa Whitecap, the matriarch of the family, said they have have been participating in ceremonies and prayers to prepare for his burial on Friday.

“I come from a very large family circle and our circle was broke when Frank went missing,” Whitecap said Tuesday. “Each and every one of us are very hurt, heartbroken, knowing that we will not see Frank again.”

''She remembered her grandson as someone who loved nursery school and would dance before class started. She said he’d spend his days playing with his siblings and laughing with his large family.''

RCMP Sgt. Richard Tonge said Frank was found in the river among a tangled mass of fallen trees. He said it was an area that had been searched before using sonar.

“The water is high, so there’s not very defined banks to the river right now. Trees have fallen into the river and it’s occurred for years, so there’s quite a bit of deadfall,” Tonge said.

“Despite our best efforts and using cutting edge technology, nature is powerful.''
