Police find missing baby dead in Negev well

The body of a 19-month old baby was found in a well near a Bedouin village in southern Israel, hours after his family report him missing. Police have taken the mother and uncle in for questioning, Ynet reports.

A police search and rescue team dispatched to find the missing child discovered his body and a paramedic pronounced him dead at the scene. A police officer says there were no signs of violence on the body. While it’s unclear how the child made it to the well, police say it’s impossible for him to have got there on his own.
