Body found of 11-year-old who fell into Cypress Creek in Spring, Pct. 4 says

SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- An hourslong search for an 11-year-old boy who fell into a creek in Spring came to a tragic end late Thursday night when authorities said the child's body had been found.

The search for the child, whose name was not released, began after about 6 p.m., when the boy's friend called officials to report he had fallen into Cypress Creek in the 3700 block of Cypresswood Drive and couldn't see him.

Multiple rescue teams were called out for the search, but before 11 p.m., Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman's office said on social media, "It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that the search for the 11-year-old that fell into Cypress Creek has ended."

Herman added that "rescue teams have located the child, and he has been confirmed deceased."

Officials said it appeared this was a tragic accident and wouldn't be releasing further information at this time out of respect for the family's privacy.
