Police in Eden Prairie ended a search for a missing child on Sunday night after recovering a body matching his description from a nearby pond.

Eleven-year-old Mohamed Mohamed was last seen at his home near Eden Prairie Center just after 5:30 p.m. Sunday, according to police. He was autistic and non-verbal. Eden Prairie authorities launched a search with assistance from K-9 units, drones and a state patrol helicopter.  

Police found a body matching Mohamed’s description in a pond near his home around 9:30 p.m. Sunday. 

The Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol and the county medical examiner are assisting with an investigation. 

It’s the second apparent drowning of a child with autism in the Twin Cities this year. A missing 4-year-old in Hopkins was found dead in Minnehaha Creek after a search in June.
