The boy, who has special needs and has been missing in the past, was reported missing in Lake Orion on Saturday afternoon.
While searching for him, Lake Orion firefighters found his body inside a covered pool on Cresmont, about a block away from the boy's home. There was about a foot of standing water in that pool.
