Found Dead: Sony Georges

30 04 2009


Who was looking for this little boy while he was drowning? Another missing Florida child life lost – and it’s sad that I’m just now hearing about this.

11:44 a.m. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office just announced that the autopsy on Sony Georges has been completed. “His cause of death is ruled accidental drowning,” the agency said in a news release.

9:04 a.m. Investigators in Polk County said an autopsy will determine Sony’s cause of death.

8:15 a.m. Deputies in Polk County said they found the body of the missing boy on a boat ramp this morning.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office dive team discovered the body at 7:45 a.m. — approximately 10 feet from the Lake Cannon shore.

A press release shows the body appears to be of Sony Georges who has been missing since Sunday.

7:13 a.m. Authorities in Polk County are searching for a missing 9-year-old boy from Winter Haven.

Officials said Sony Georges told his older brother Sunday afternoon that he was “going to the lake,” meaning nearby Lake Cannon, a few blocks away from their home, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Sony’s mother was at work at the time, between 4 and 5 p.m., and his older siblings were watching him.

“When Georges’ mother arrived home from work around 11:20 p.m. Sunday evening, she immediately began looking for him,” the statement said. “The family located his bicycle at the lake, but Sony was nowhere to be found.”

Sony “is described as a black Haitian male, 4’5″ tall, 75 lbs., last seen wearing a black and red matching shirt and shorts set, and black sneakers with blue stripes,” the statement said.

This is a great way to let others no that these people are missing. We can’t always wait for the news media or the police to bring missing people to our attention.

I think regardless of color (I am a white woman), it is so sad to hear of children going missing. What a scary world this can be. My heart goes out to these families and I hope that there is a happy ending to their stories.
