Boy, 3, found dead in 'obscured' location in Florida home

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — The search for a missing 3-year-old boy ended Friday where it began a day earlier, inside a Florida home where the child's body was discovered in what police called an "obscured" location.

Hollywood Police Chief Frank Fernandez offered few details during a Friday morning news conference that followed a massive search by multiple law enforcement agencies for Ahizya Osceola. He didn't say whether any suspects have been identified, but he said the parents are cooperating with police.

"During an exhaustive search of the house, we discovered the body of little Ahizya in an obscured location not readily visible to the average person," Fernandez said. "The child did not place himself in that position."

A criminal investigation is underway at the home where the boy lived with his father, Nelson Osceola.
