The body of a 3-year-old boy with autism was found in a body of water on Thursday after he was reported missing from a resort near Disney in Orlando, Florida.
Rakim Akbari was found by Orange County sheriff's deputies who were searching for the toddler throughout the day. The belief is that Akbari, who goes by "Tuda," wandered away from the resort sometime that morning, the sheriff's office said around 9:55 a.m. in a post on X.
Akbari was reported missing from the Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas at Lake Buena Vista, which is about 12 miles from Disney World and five miles from Disney Springs.
