The Haunting Final Moments Of A Disabled 6 Year Old Boy Who Fell To His Death In A River After His Father Was Hit By Thieves

Leon, six, who suffered from the rare genetic condition SYNGAP1 which causes severe learning disabilities, was left to wonder in the river in St. Johann in Tyrol, Austria, on Monday. 5 Little Leon suffered from the rare genetic condition SYNGAP1Credit: Newsflash 5 Non-verbal Leon, six, is believed to have drowned in a river in AustriaCredit: Newsflash His German father, 37, was pushing Leon in his pram at 4am when an unknown assailant hit him on the head with a bottle, police said. The dad is said to have collapsed to the ground unconscious and little Leon is said to have climbed out of his pram and wandered around disorientated. Unfortunately, Leon walked to the nearby Kitzbueheler Ache River and drowned, police said. Officials confirmed Leon’s cause of death was a knockdown, an autopsy confirmed later Monday. The horrific incident was discovered by a passer-by, who found the dad around 5.20am. When the father came around, he said he couldn’t remember what had happened, but asked about Leon, police said. Leon’s special needs stroller was missing. Dozens of compassionate people launched a search and rescue mission to find the little boy, who was non-verbal. About an hour later, his lifeless body was pulled from the Kitzbueheler Ache River. Police now believe Leon accidentally fell into the water and drifted 600 meters upstream, where his body was discovered. Questions arose, however, after the dad’s cell phone and wallet were discovered near the crime scene, investigators said. Investigators also questioned why the couple were out in the middle of the night – with Austrian media suggesting it may have been due to Leon’s condition, which severely disrupted his sleep. At the time of writing, police had not yet examined the father, an Austrian national, who remained in hospital. His name was withheld by police. The investigation is ongoing. Children with SYNGAP1 may suffer from epilepsy and seizures, language delays, sleep disorders, motor delays and low muscle tone. 5 Leon’s empty stroller was later found near the crime sceneCredit: Newsflash 5 Leon is believed to have been carried away by the currentCredit: Newsflash 5 Leon’s autopsy revealed that he had drowned in Tyrol, AustriaCredit: Newsflash
