A 28-year-old Florida man has intentionally killed his toddler son by drowning him in an Orlando lake before doing the same to himself a few minutes later amid marital issues with the boy’s mother.
According to local news outlets, the lifeless bodies of Miguel Leonardo-Hernandez and his 19-month-old son Kevin Leonardo-Cisnero were recovered from Lake George on August 27. Both the boy and his dad were caught by surveillance video walking near the lake just before the tragedy occurred, Orlando police spokeswoman Heidi Rodriguez reportedly stated.
At this time, it was not clear why the father returned to the lake after killing his son. The incident is being investigated as a murder-suicide, officials said.
