Three-year-old boy lost near Kingston, Ontario found after safe three day search

Leyton was found, hungry and thirsty but otherwise well, 980m away from his original location when he disappeared.

According to Global News, authorities currently believe that the child simply wandered away, and no foul play is suspected.

"Four of our ERT members, part of the search and rescue (team), they were on another tasking to check another area. While they’re on that tasking, they found Jude. It was a great finale to some very, very difficult days."

"There’s a body of water that’s attached to the property [from where the child had disappeared]. So it was across that body of water. So a significant distance for sure. He took some water, responded well to that, and they were able to bring him out to paramedics."

"What we can say for sure is that he was dressed for the weather. He had a winter jacket with a heavy wool sweater. His boots were still on. So given all those bonuses, he thrived actually, he did very well."
