Jacob Coterel found dead in pond; 2-year-old dead in ‘tragic accident’

Jacob Coterel‘s parents woke up Monday morning to a nightmare. The nearly 2-year-old boy was missing. The front door was ajar. Their search for the boy ended in a pond about 100 yards from the family’s Sedalia, Missouri, home.

Coterel had drowned in the pond. The boy’s parents tried to revive him, but the boy’s body temperature was just too low.
