A 6-year-old boy has died after being pulled from the water at Belle Isle during a family reunion Saturday evening.
Police say the family was gathered near Shelter #2, close to the river that feeds into Lake Tacoma. Multiple children were playing in a bouncing castle when the boy, who was autistic, wandered off alone.
Family members began searching when they noticed he was missing. After they couldn’t find him, they called 911 and reported him missing and autistic.
