Five-year-old Frank Young to be buried this week
The family of a five-year-old Saskatchewan boy whose body was found 81 days after he was reported missing says he is to be buried Friday.
RCMP say Frank Young was located Saturday in the Carrot River, about two kilometres downstream from where he was last seen playing on the Red Earth Cree Nation in April.
Frank’s grandmother Teresa Whitecap says family members have been participating in ceremonies and prayers to prepare for their final goodbyes.
She says community members have also gone by boat to the site where he was found and tied white and blue ribbons around trees.
She says white represents the boy’s pureness and innocence, while blue symbolizes his favourite cartoon, PAW Patrol.
RCMP say foul play is not suspected in the death but officers continue to investigate.
