Police in Maine are investigating the death of a 3-year-old boy who was found outside in the snow on Sunday morning.
The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call around 8:30 a.m. Sunday from a residence on Exeter Road in Corinna, a town of about 2,200 residents in central Maine. The caller said her 3-year-old nephew was missing from the family home.
The child was later found by his father outside in the snow, a distance from the residence. Police and emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, but the boy died of his injuries, which investigators said were consistent with exposure to the elements.
