SHAMATTAWA, Man. – Mounties say they continue to investigate the death of a boy who had been reported missing from his school in northeastern Manitoba.

Police say an autopsy has been scheduled for six-year-old Johnson Redhead.

The boy’s body was found in a marshy area Sunday evening in Shamattawa First Nation, about 3 1/2 kilometres from his school in the remote community.

Police have said he was at school last Wednesday morning but didn’t make it to class after a breakfast program.

RCMP confirmed the boy was non-verbal.

Search and rescue teams from Winnipeg and outside of the province, including the Canadian Rangers, were brought in to search for Johnson.
