An autopsy has determined that four-year-old Tevon Niles, who was found at a koker in Bagotstown on Tuesday night, died by drowning, his family said yesterday.
Niles, of the Bagotstown Squatting Area, was last seen alive on Tuesday at 4:45pm, before being discovered dead by the koker after hours of desperate searching to find him.
