Police rule out foul play in death of 13-year-old boy By Charlie Senack The body of a missing 13-year-old boy has been found, according to police. On the evening of Saturday, October 26 , the Ottawa Police Duty Inspectors tweeted out the news saying “there will be no further information provided at the request of the family.” Alexandre Baron, a grade 9 student who attended St Francis Xavier High School in Riverside South, went missing on the afternoon of Oct. 22, after leaving his home in the south end of the city. Baron’s mother told the Ottawa Citizen that he left after the two got into a verbal argument over him wanting to hangout with friends on a school night. Soon after Baron disappeared, family members said the missing teen had never run away from home before, and seemed com-
pletely normal when leaving his Riverside South high school that afternoon. He left his home Tuesday afternoon at around 2:50 pm without any money or a bus pass — but did have a cell phone which died after pinging off a nearby cellphone tower at around 3:00 pm the same day — ten minutes after last being seen. Friends, family, and total strangers were out looking for Baron since he first disappeared, forming a line through Blossom Park Forest on Thursday. Posters were plastered all around the city in hopes someone would recognize him. At the time his family said they would have many “sleepless nights” until he returned home, and hoped he would soon walk through the front door. Late Saturday evening, police said they found a body in the south end of the

city, but wouldn’t give any specifics as to the location. It is unclear whether or not this is the location where Baron’s body was found. Frontline Platoon Inspector Francois D’Aaoust said on Twitter, “Investigators and crisis counsellors have met with family and request privacy during difficult time.” In a message sent to parents in the St Francis Xavier High School community following the news of Baron’s death, Principal Sean Kelly said it was a “devastating loss” to those who knew him. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Alexandre’s family, and we wish them peace in the difficult days ahead,” he said. The Ottawa Catholic School Board said they would be offering support to students who needed it. Police say foul play is not suspected.
