Hamilton police say a boy who was the subject of an Amber Alert was found dead

Hamilton police say a boy who went missing this weekend was found dead Sunday.

Police issued a brief news release that provided few other details about Finnigan Danne.

A post mortem has been scheduled but police are saying nothing else about the case.

Danne, 12, was last seen Saturday morning.

Police said they were concerned about the boy’s safety because he suffered from a neuromuscular disorder and had limited mobility without a wheelchair.

Police issued an Amber Alert Sunday afternoon but cancelled it less than an hour later.

Police and civilian volunteers helped search for the boy throughout the weekend.

Investigators have blocked off an area near the boy’s home in Dundas.
