A 10-year-old boy who slipped into a Connecticut river and was then swept into a river pipe, was found dead on Friday, according to multiple reports.

“They were on the edge of the roadway by the culvert,” Morgan said. “One of them lost their footing and got swept into the pipe that goes underneath the water.
