Connecticut police on Tuesday, July 7, announced that they had found the body of the 7-month-old boy they believe may have been tossed into a river by his father, who had tried to kill himself at the same time (read here if you missed it).

 

 

Middletown police responded to a report of a body found in the river near East Haddam, Connecticut, around 8 p.m., the department said in a statement.

 

Detectives and Connecticut State Police confirmed the body was that of Aaden Moreno, who had been missing since early Monday.

 

Police believe the baby's father, Tony Moreno, 22, was holding the child, or had flung him into the water, as he attempted suicide early Monday, July 6 by jumping off the Arrigoni Bridge in Middletown.

 

Officials revealed on Tuesday, July 7, that the suicidal father was in critical condition.
