A Maine toddler was found dead in snow early Sunday morning a short distance from his family’s Corinna home.
The 3-year-old boy’s father found him unresponsive in the snow after his aunt called 911 at around 8:30 a.m. and reported the boy missing.
Authorities said the toddler died from exposure to the elements.
The child’s grieving mother said the home’s door was only kept closed by a bolt after a relative recently kicked it in.
She said that she woke up in the morning to find out that her son was missing and the home’s door open.
In a GoFundMe page, the family mourned the “sudden and unexpected loss” of the boy.
“He was such a strong loving, caring, funny, happy, little boy. He loves his family with such unconditional love and was loved back so unconditionally by everyone that knew him.”
